I think you're mixing up ethnicity with what the area was. The whole area was Palestine before the UN partitioned it in 1948.
Prior to the 1917 British Mandate in Palestine, Jews made up 6% and Arabs the remainder. By 1948 it was 33%, so in 1930s there were a fair number of Jews: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/27/palestine-and-israel-brief-history-maps-and-charts
