		The British Mandate of Palestine was a swathe of territory in the Middle East, formerly belonging to the Ottoman Empire, which the League of Nations gave to the United Kingdom to administer.
		The British had previously promised the Hashemite family lordship over land in return for their support in the Great Arab Rebellion[?] during World War I. In 1920 at the San Remo conference in Italy, the League of Nations mandate over Palestine and Transjordan was assigned to Britain.

	Definition of British mandate of Palestine
		The British government put limitations on Jewish immigration to Palestine, which were controversial, particularly in the latter years of British rule.
		Some of the leadership went further, especially the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin Al-Husseini (by then expelled from Palestine) who on November 25, 1941 formally declared jihad against the Allied Powers and spent much time thereafter in what was then Nazi-occupied Yugoslavia, recruiting Bosnia's Muslims and Kosovo's ethnic Albanians into Nazi SS units.
		Opposing this policy, which continued during and after the war's end, and as a result of their general opposition to British control of Palestine, in 1946 the Zionist rebel group Irgun blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, the headquarters of the British administration, killing 92 people.
