considering that the whole Mandate of Palestine (both east and west) was one country.

Wrong. Article 25 of the British Mandate clearly sets Transjordan aside as a separate country, defining Palestine as west of the Jordan River.

This was clarified by the British government:

<<< in 1922, the “Churchill” White Paper [32] redefined the interpretation of the Balfour Declaration in a sense less favourable to the Zionists. This statement explicitly rejected, without mentioning its author by name, a phrase which Weizmann had let “slip out” on several occasions to the effect that Palestine should become “as Jewish as England is English”. [33] The British Government bluntly makes the point that it was not contemplated “that Palestine as a whole should be converted into a Jewish National Home, but that such a Home should be founded in Palestine.” >>>
