Zeev. Are you saying that Jordan at one time was known as the state of Palestine and that this state was recognized as such by the rest of the world? I didn't know that. There was a brief period (about 1918 - 1924?) when the Mandate of Palestine included today's Jordan, as well as today's Israel, the West Bank, Gaza, and the Golan Heights. The Brits gave the Golan to French Syria in about 1920, and made the Mandate east of the Jordan into a separate country, then called Transjordan, as a consolation prize for their client Emir Abdullah when Abdulaziz ibn Saud conqued the Hijaz and threw the Hashemites out of Arabia in 1924.
