Please clarify. According to your argument the successor State to Turkey was what? And at what date? Have there been any changes in sovereignty since? If so, to which States and on which dates and through which laws or treaties?
(I'm still weeding through your 348 page link. Its interesting, though apparently irrelevant to the conversation so far.)
1. From Ottoman subjects into Palestinian citizens
Turkish subjects habitually resident in the territory of Palestine upon the 1st day of August, 1925, shall become Palestinian citizens.
This is what Article 1, Clause (1) , of the 1925 Palestinian Citizenship Order declared with regard to those persons who formed, according to domestic law, the first ‘Palestinians’. As already concluded in Chapter III above, the ‘Palestinian people’ had been defined according to international law on 6 August 1924, the date at which the Treaty of Lausanne was enforced. Hence, the just quoted clause was a mere declaration of pre-existing international law.
This clause refers to the automatic, or ipso facto, acquisition of Palestinian citizenship by those persons resident in Palestine who had replaced their former Turkish, or Ottoman, nationality. Although the term ‘ipso facto’ is not literally employed, it should be easily understood as the clause is a direct application of Article 30 of the Treaty of Lausanne, 1923, which stated that “Turkish subjects habitually resident in territory which... is detached from Turkey will become ipso facto... nationals...”. Thus, Turkish individuals who were covered by this clause became Palestinians by the operation of law without further action.

And not the 3 million that arrived after this date as illegal immigrants. Then the LoN in conjuction with the Jordanians enacted an international law that made it illegal for Jews to live in trans Jordan and for arab muslims to live in the Jewish national home. Why do you only accept the first part and not the second ?
You do realise that is only applied until the land was declared a state and independent of the Mandate dont you, the part your islamonazi propagandist friend always ignores
The order in full

Article 21: Definitions
For the purpose of this Order:

SCHEDULE OATH OF ALLeGIANCE
I, A.B., Swear by Almighty God that I will be Faithful and Loyal to the Government of Palestine".
This means all those arab muslims that took Jordanian and Egyptian citizenship are no longer palestinians , reducing their numbers by at least 3 million.
