Let me see if I understand your thinking correctly the Ottoman empire was disnabded and along with it the muslims nationality for those living in Palestine. The British and French took over the reigns meaning that the muslims living in Palestine then become British and French citizens, only limited to what rights the new rulers extend to them.
So they have no claim to the land of Palestine in view of your source. That has cleared it up nicely. NO PALESTINE AND NO PALESTINIANS
Not true.
With regard to nationality of the inhabitants of mandated territories, in general, the Council of the League of Nations adopted the following resolution on 23 April 1923:
“(1) The status of the native inhabitants of a Mandated territory is distinct from that of the nationals of the Mandatory Power....
(2) The native inhabitants of a Mandated territory are not invested with the nationality of the Mandatory Power by means of the protection extended to them…”92

Where do you get all your misinformation anyway?
Just curious.
Your own post and the cut and paste you relied on to show that you were right and the world was wrong.
Here it is and as I said they lost Ottoman nationality and gained limited British and French as they were the successive states
In international law, when a state is dissolved and new states are established, “the population follows the change of sovereignty in matters of nationality.”5 As a rule, therefore, citizens of the former state should automatically acquire the nationality of the successor state in which they had already been residing.
The operative word is SOVERIEGNTY. They could not take on Jordanian nationality as that was not formed yet, nor could they take on Palestinian nationality for the same reason so they became limited British and French nationals
Mandates are not successor states. they are assigned to successor states. The people under mandate do not take on the nationality or citizenship of the mandatory.
