I keep seeing conflicting answers, and I'm not sure which answer is objectively true or just someone pushing an agenda.
Hi! Not to discourage any other answers, but you may be interested in this answer about British peacekeeping by u/stellaathena (and the follow-ups between them and I), as well as my answer here on whether the British "gave" Israel to the Jews. I think both can shed a lot of light on your question, and if you have follow-ups, I'm happy to try and respond as well, and encourage others to provide answers of their own!
