On 21 March 1921, the Foreign and Colonial office introduced Article 25 into the Palestine Mandate, which brought Transjordan under the Palestinian mandate. In August 1922, the British government presented a memorandum to the League of Nations stating that Transjordan would be excluded from all the provisions dealing with Jewish settlement, and this memorandum was approved by the League on 12 August.

Abdullah established his government on 11 April 1921. Britain administered the part west of the Jordan as Palestine, and the part east of the Jordan as Transjordan.

On May 15, 1923, Britain formally recognized the Emirate of Transjordan as a state under the leadership of Emir Abdullah.

On May 25, 1946, the Transjordanian parliament proclaimed Abdullah king, while officially changing the name of the country from the Emirate of Transjordan to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

IN OTHER WORDS, JORDAN IS PALESTINE!

Not only that, but from 1948 to 1953, Jordan occupied Judah and Samaria, renaming it The West Bank, and from 1953 to 1967, it unilaterally annexed it, changing its name from Transjordan to simply Jordan. The international community’s reaction to these acts registered 1 on the Richter Scale.
