who ruled the area of palestine right before israel gained its independence?
the british
in 1947, the un adopted a partition plan for a two-state solution in the remaining territory of the mandate. the plan was accepted by the jewish leadership but rejected by the arab leaders, and britain refused to implement the plan. on the eve of final british withdrawal, the jewish agency for israel declared the establishment of the state of israel according to the proposed un plan. the arab higher committee did not declare a state of its own and instead, together with transjordan, egypt, and the other members of the arab league of the time, commenced military action resulting in the 1948 arab–israeli war. during the war, israel gained additional territories that were designated to be part of the arab state under the un plan. egypt occupied the gaza strip and transjordan occupied and then annexed the west bank. egypt initially supported the creation of an all-palestine government, but disbanded it in 1959. transjordan never recognized it and instead decided to incorporate the west bank with its own territory to form jordan. the annexation was ratified in 1950 but was rejected by the international community. the six-day war in 1967, when israel fought against egypt, jordan, and syria, ended with israel occupying the west bank and the gaza strip, besides other territories.
