Which country colonized israel?

The United Kingdom was the country that colonized Israel. The British government issued the Balfour Declaration in 1917, which supported the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine. This led to the creation of the British Mandate for Palestine, which lasted from 1920 to 1948. During this time, the British government controlled the territory and oversaw the immigration of Jewish people to the area. In 1948, the British Mandate for Palestine ended and the State of Israel was declared.
