Answer 1

Israel was under British territory until the end of World War 2, when they gave it up to the Jewish community around the world so they could be free from prosecution in other countries.

Answer 2

Yes, assuming "Always" refers to "all periods of time when there have been Jews in some place in the world" as opposed to "all moments since the Big Bang". There have always been Jews in Israel since Judaism's inception. (Scholars place this at around 2500 years ago while Religious Jews place this at around 3800 years ago.)

Now, this does not mean that the Jews were the majority or that they were in any way connected to the government or rulership of the territory. For example, in 1918, the British census showed a 7% Jewish population, which is a small minority.
