Well, that's a complex issue. It's been under Ottoman rule for centuries before the invention of nation states in the Peace of Westphalia; i.e. the question of which state is moot here.
The British, the far away stranger, conquered it away from Ottomans in WW1, promising multiple parties the land after.
Why does it matter though? Nigerians got their independence without imposition of foreigners to live with them, so did Indians. Palestinians didn't.
