RE: The Debates
SUBTOPIC: Considering the Original Intent of A/RES/181 (II)
※→ P F Tinmore, el al,
BLUF: Was it ever really under the sovereign control of any Arab Palestinian Leadership and Government? (NO!). It was the territory formerly under the Mandate called Palestine. Paragraph 1, Palestine Order in Council.
The territory had been called "Palestine" for so long, that no other name seemed more appropriate. The Government of Palestine (a UK entity) appeared to be a very appropriate name for the new Administrative Government in 1920.
Even though the Arab Higher Committee (AHC) rejected the establishment of the Arab State, under Part II, A/RES/181 (II), it was optimistically thought that eventually, the Arab Palestinians would secure their carve-out under the recommendation. No one then actually believed that the Arab Palestinian would reject a cooperative arrangement with the UN and adopt the induction into the Hashemite Kingdom under the "Unification of the two Banks."
The Jericho Conference of 1 December 1948 was the political launch platform for the annexation. The Arab Palestinians from every corner of the territory, some ≈ thousand delegates, voted unanimously to adopt the annexation with Jordan. At the time of the annexation, Jordan was not yet a signatory to the Geneva Convention.
Most Respectfully,

(COMMENT)So then, why does the world call it occupied Palestinian territory?

Unification of the Two Banks said:On April 11, 1950, elections were held for a new Jordanian parliament in which the Palestinian Arabs of the West Bank were equally represented. Thirteen days later, Parliament unanimously approved a motion to unite the two banks of the Jordan River, constitutionally expanding the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in order to safeguard what was left of the Arab territory of Palestine from further Zionist expansion.
