You seem to be saying the Palestinian Jews are at least marginal allies to the British. But the British were contending with Jewish terrorists, and (I think) Menachem Begin spent time in a British prison for such actions. Doesn't sound like they were very chummy. The Mandate originated in 1920, and the Germans never conquered it. So the Brits had a continual presence in the region until 1948.
I wasn't aware of the French, but I knew it was a British protectorate (of sorts), as their colonial empire continued to shrink.
