Summary
When the League of Nations was dissolved in 1946, the question arose of the status of the Palestine Mandate. Egypt, as a member of the League, argued that the Palestine Mandate became defunct. Britain, and other members of the League, said that it would continue. Britain deemed it to be in force until its withdrawal from Palestine in 1948. Britain did not conclude with the United Nations a trusteeship for Palestine, as Britain did with other territories that it had placed under the mandate system of the covenant of the League of Nations.
