Describe the role played by the British in causing the strife between Israelis and Palestinians. Please help

British took control of the Palestinian territory. This is their role.

Explanation:

The Partition Plan, which sought to divide the British Mandate of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states.

Britain took control of the area known as Palestine after the ruler of that part of the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire, was defeated in WW1.

The land was inhabited by a Jewish minority and Arab majority.

Tensions between the two peoples grew when the international community gave Britain the task of establishing a "national home" in Palestine for Jewish people.

For Jews, it was their ancestral home, but Palestinian Arabs also claimed the land and opposed the move.
