I thought Jordan was created as a home for the Arab Palestinians.
It was actually created as a toy kingdom for the British’s pet Hussein’s brother. Pet Hussein, you see, wanted to be king of Syria, but the French had dibs so he couldn’t. So they deposed the Hussein who was king of Iraq and put Pet Hussein on the throne there, and to keep his brother happy broke off a chunk of the Jewish homeland (70%) and gave it to Pet Hussein’s brother, after he failed to raise a revolt against the French in Syria. Some kingdom. Only a few Bedouins there, who didn’t acknowledge any king, ever. Fortunately for King Hussein of Georgia, the Arab refugees came along from Israel in 1948, and now comprise about 70% of Jordan’s population. These Arabs were eager to depose him from the Jordanian throne, too, but when in 1971 they failed again, they set their sights on Israel and started calling themselves Palestinians.
