Jordan had forwarded it's
intention to annex the West Bank following the first round of the Arab-Israeli conflict of 1948/9. in 1951. The annexation "deceleration" by Jordan of the West-Bank was only recognized by Britain and Pakistan - however no one disputed that Jordan had occupied the West-Bank and ruled over it. Arab militants in Palestine refused to accept Jordanian rule and in 1964 founded the Palestine Liberation Organization.
It lost the territory to Israel in the June 1967 War and then
ceded it to the Palestinians in 1988 by renouncing Jordanian
claims to the West Bank.
The invading Arab states in 1948, said Israel’s UN ambassador Chaim Herzog in 1977, “could not acquire rights of sovereignty over the territories they occupied,” and were “without any authority unilaterally to annex” them. Therefore, “Jordan’s unilateral ‘annexation’ of Judea and Samaria in 1950 . . . had no basis or validity in international law” and indeed “never received any international acknowledgement.”
Egypt had never annexed Gaza, but had occupied it in 1948 - and lost it to Israel in the 1967 war - since then it had been occupied by Israel till 2005.

Egypt controlled Gaza until the Six-Day War in 1967, when Israel seized the strip, along with several other important areas of land.
As such Jordan never annexed the West-Bank according to international statutes - and Egypt had never declared an annexation of Gaza in the first place.
Same goes for the Golan-Heights - Israel unilaterally declared the annexation, which is only recognized by the USA. Therefore according to international Law - the Golan-height have NOT been annexed by Israel - however no one disputes that Israel occupies and controls the place and has send in 30,000 illegal Jewish settlers upon having forcefully displaced around 130,000 of the initial Syrian population.
