<span>The British withdrew from the Palestinian Mandate because
they did not support the United Nations’ vote recommending to divide Palestine
into two states, one for the Arabs and one for the Jews on November 29, 1947. The British refused to comply because it was
unfair to the Arabs. They also refuse to
work with the U.N. Commission and it difficult for them to carry out their
work. They instead spent the remainder
of their rule to make sure that they would not be blamed for the partition and
began withdrawing their troops during the final months of the mandate.</span>
