Did British set Palestine up for failure? I #palestine #isreal #war #hamas - Video

In 1916, during World War One, the Arabs revolted against the Ottomans which helped British take over many Ottoman territories. In return, the British promised them and Arab state in Palestine. After the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in World War One, Britain assumed control of many territories of the former Empire, including Palestine. Britain was given a mandate of Palestine by the League of Nations in 1920. This was, together with the Sykes – Picot agreement and Balfour Declaration, both of which I covered in my previous videos, an act of betrayal in the eyes of the Arabs. Over the next two decades over 100,000 Jews entered Palestine. The mandate ended in 1948 and British troops left the region which was heading into a war and facing partition plans.
