All of the British controlled land was handed over to local rulers/Tribes and all of them are Muslims and they also handed over small piece of land to Jewish people who were custodians of Jerusalem and Israel for more than 3000 years but displaced by Islamic invasion over 1000 of years.
The area of modern Israel is approximately 22,000 square kilometers (about 8,500 square miles). This includes the territory of Israel as it exists today, which encompasses a variety of geographical features, from coastal plains to mountainous regions and the Negev Desert.
Historically, the land has been significant to various peoples and cultures, and its boundaries have changed over time due to numerous geopolitical events. In the context of historical claims, some refer to the broader region that includes parts of modern-day Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, often referred to in biblical or historical terms. However, the internationally recognized borders of the State of Israel today are as established in the mid-20th century.
Total land handed over to Islamic rulers is arund 5,000,000 km² and Jewish people got on 22,000 km².
