No. By the Balfour Declaration, legalized by International treaties, Britain pledged itself to laying the foundation of a Jewish State.

The British act of making Jewish immigration illegal was in itself illegal.

That would depend on your point of view. To the Jews who escaped the slaughter-house on the European peninsula, or to the many Jews who migrated peacefully to Ottoman Palestine for 50 years before the Shoa to plant vinyards, orchards, and groves of fruit trees in the desolate wastes that the Arabs had long ago abandoned, there were higher laws at stake.
