It should be common knowledge that under the Mandate, all of Palestine was reserved exclusively for the establishment of the Jewish National Home and future independent Jewish State, as was previously decided at the San Remo Peace Conference that took place in April 1920. Or put another way, no part of Palestine was allotted for an Arab National Home or state, since Arab self-determination was being generously granted elsewhere<snip>. . . There is thus no necessity for a new independent Arab State in the specific area of former Mandated Palestine reserved for Jewish self-determination, most particularly, in Judea, Samaria and Gaza.
Actually, let us remember that the original British mandate for Palestine included territory that in 1922, after the San Remo Conference, was split off to create Trans-Jordan; an(other) independent Arab state.
No it diddn't. Transjordania was a "no man's land" where the British established a Protectorate administered from Palestine in to stop the French from claiming it.
