At the time just after World War I, the area of Palestine (also called the Land of Israel) was ruled by Britain under a mandate from the League of Nations.
The purpose of the British Mandate—formally approved in 1922—was to implement the Balfour Declaration by facilitating the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine, while also safeguarding the civil and religious rights of the existing non-Jewish population and fostering self-governing institutions for all residents.
The mandate gave Britain “dual obligations” to both Jews and Arabs, and it required Britain to create political, administrative, and economic conditions that would eventually allow the communities to govern themselves under British supervision, although this balance proved difficult and contentious in practice.
