This division forgets about Eastern Palestine (now called Jordan). Jordan was part of the original Mandate of Palestine referred to by the Balfour Declaration. Jordan has always considered that it is part of the same country as Palestine. That is why Jordan alone gave citizenship to the Arab refugees of 1948 (indeed, at least 200,000 of the refugees had migrated from Jordan into Western Palestine in the previous 20 years). Arabs of Palestine were culturally indistinguishable from Arabs of Jordan, nor at the time did they think of themselves as belonging to a country called 'Palestine'. That all came later.
