As per arab agitprop, of course, which doesn't want others to know that "arabs" owned only a meager 8% of the land. Absentee landlords, mostly churches owned 16%. The remainder, comprised by state lands, owned previously by the sultan, was owned by the mandate government, of course.The Jews owned about 7% of Palestinian land in 1947. That land was inside Palestine's borders then and is inside Palestine's borders now.But palestine is as 63 years as very much kaput, of course. And we still have to learn who was that emir, sultan, shakh, president, prime-minister of that "palestine", of course, too. No names yet, so sad.
The Courts of Palestine and Great Britain decided that title to the properties shown on the Ottoman Civil list had been ceded to the government of Palestine as an allied successor state.
"[a]n entity does not necessarily cease to be a state even if all of its territory has been occupied by a foreign power".

That land was being redistributed to the original Palestinian owners.
