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.
Nationality constitutes a legal bond that connects individuals with a specific territory, making them citizens of that territory. It is therefore imperative to examine the boundaries of Palestine in order to define the piece of land on which Palestinian nationality was established.
The status of Palestine and the nationality of its inhabitants were finally settled by the Treaty of Lausanne from the perspective of public international law. In a report submitted to the League of Nations, the British government pointed out: “The ratification of the Treaty of Lausanne in Aug., 1924, finally regularised the international status of Palestine.”123 And, thereafter, “Palestine could, at last, obtain a separate nationality.”124
Drawing up the framework of nationality, Article 30 of the Treaty of Lausanne stated:
------------------
Palestine and Palestinian nationality was established by international law not by the Mandate.
1). There was no country in the Ottoman Empire for anyone to change Nationalities.
There never had been a country called Palestine.
2). All who lived there, the Indigenous Jews, the immigrating Arab Muslims and Christians, the Druze, Bedouin, and anyone else, did not immediately acquire a new nationality, as there was no country.
3) The Mandate for Palestine was an agreement that it was going to become a Jewish State ON the land of the ancient Jewish Homeland. The British did not honor only that Mandate. All other 3 Mandates went on as planned.
4). Thanjordan, Jordan, is part of the Jewish Homeland and it was part of the Mandate for Palestine. It was wrongfully given to the Hashemites.
4). All living in the Mandate for Palestine would have become Israelis after the Independence.
5). Your misunderstanding of the Treaty of Lausanne continues to be just that.
A misunderstanding of what it actually says when it comes to Palestine.
