Well, this is not exactly correct.
[
The Palestinians are the people who obtained Palestinian citizenship after the Treaty of Lausanne.
The international borders that were finalized with the separation of Transjordan in 1922.
The border checkpoints are controlled by the occupation.
(COMMENT)
The Arab Palestinians (in the begin of the Mandate Period) obtained their citizenship from the
1922 Palestine Election Council Order (Paragraph 2):
For the purposes of this Order and pending the introduction of an Order in Council regulating Palestinian citizenship, the following persons shall be deemed to be Palestinian citizens:–
(a)Turkish subjects habitually resident in the territory of Palestine at the date of commencement of this Order.
(b)All persons of other than Turkish nationality habitually resident in the territory of Palestine at the said date, who shall within two calendar months of the said date make application for Palestinian citizenship in such form and before such officer as may be prescribed by the High Commissioner.
The Palestine Election Council Order can before the the
Treaty of Lausanne (1924) or the
Citizenship Order (1925).
Between 1921–46 Transjordan held the status as a British protectorate. In 1946, Jordan was still under the Mandate, but the Western Border of Jordan has traditionally been the Jordan River (except from 1950 to 1988). In 1946, the Jordan was released from the Mandate. However, the Western Border was not finalized until
the Israeli-Jordanian Treaty of 1994.
The point being made by the Border Crossing question is to suggest that there is something dd in describing the State of Palestine as sovereign.
Most Respectfully,
