Three states being Gaza, West Bank and Israel? I could see either of those as possible but not probable because neither Egypt nor Jordan want to take the Palestinian issue on.
Yes. The clans in Gaza are different than the clans in the west bank, and it would be difficult enough from an administrative standpoint to form a non-continuous country even if blood ties didn't play such an important aspect of the culture -- nearly impossible with.
As to Jordan and Egypt, since Jordan IS the state established to give Arabs 78% of Palestine and Gaza has been part of Egypt before, what's the big deal? It's not as if we are talking about any sort of distinct ethnic group here, or anything. They didn't even start referring to themselves as "Palestinian" until Arafat started demanding they do, so it's not as if they are a legitimate cultural group that deserves a state based upon a long history of being a people. Do you argue that West Virginians deserve a country of their own simply on the basis that they start calling themselves West Virginians rather than Americans? These "Palestinians" are less different from their fellow Arabs in Egypt or Jordan than West Virginians are from Californians or New Yorkers.
Why do you post that propaganda. Trans-Jordan was never part of Palestine as confirmed by reports of the Mandatory including the 1922 Report where it states clearly that:
"
REPORT ON PALESTINE ADMINISTRATION
1922.
PALESTINE.
REPORT ON
PALESTINE ADMINISTRATION, 1922.
"The Order in Council also contains a provision that it shall not apply to the Transjordan territory."

Another Zionist lie you propagate about the Palestinians not existing before Arafat. The Palestinians were considered Palestinians before there was any mention of Israelis, the Jews were simply known as Zionists.
As confirmed by the letters written by the Palestinian Delegation to the British as early as 1922.
PALESTINE. CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE PALESTINE ARAB DELEGATION AND THE ZIONIST ORGANISATION. Presented to Parliament by Command of His Majesty. JUNE, 1922. LONDON: -
".........We, therefore, hold that the proposed constitution is wholly unsatisfactory, because:—
(a) In the preamble to the Palestine Order in Council "the declaration of November 2nd, 1917, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish People" is made a basis for this Order; the People of Palestine cannot accept this Declaration as a basis for discussion."

YEP the MANDATE FOR PALESTINE herinafter called palestine. It was not a country and the arab muslims refused to accept it as such. Yet they were willing to accept 78% of the original land designated for the Jewish national home. So how about we go back to the status quo and start again with the 4 mandates only this time stick to the original plans and relocate the arab muslims to the land designated for them as accepted by the LoN.
