Funny how @KingAbdullahII failed to mention how Jordan illegally occupied the West Bank from 1948-1967, formally annexed it in 1950, and ethnically cleansed the territory of Jews in the Old City of Jerusalem. In all that time, they never created a Palestinian state. Then, in 1988, King Hussein, his father, stripped West Bank Palestinian residents of Jordanian citizenship overnight, another illegal move.
Now King Abdullah comes to the UN lectures about “de facto annexation” and international law?
King Abdullah doesn’t want you to know that that reason they didn’t declare a Palestinian state (and the reason Egypt didn’t either when they controlled Gaza), is because there was never a national identity known as “Palestinian” in the Arab world. This concept only developed with the PLO and Yasser Arafat in the 1960s.

Funny. You clearly don't knpw what you are talking about.
There was nothjing illegally about Jordan's annexation fo the West Bank, It was recognized by the UN includin gall memembers of the UNSC in 1966 - see UNSC Res 228 that passed 14-0 that referred to Hebron as Jordanian territory.
The ethnic cleansing of Jews in the Old City was in response to Israel's ethnci cleansing or of Palestinians from West Jerusalem.
It's true that they did not create a Palestinian state and for good reason. The borders at the time were still to be negotiated, especially seeing as Israel had seized 50% of the Arab territory in Palestine in 1948.
King Hussein removed West Bank Palestinian residents of Jordanian citizenship following the PLO's declaration of independenece along the 1967 borers, whie Jordan recognized.
So yes, King Abdullah has everyu right to lecture about “de facto annexation” and international law.
And yes, there was A national identity known as “Palestinian” in the Arab world you liar.
The Delegation to Great Britain in February 1922 self-identified themselves as representatives of the “Arab People of Palestine” and members of the “People of Palestine”. They demanded their own national constitution and representative government. By their own definition, no foreign Zionists were included.
Throughout the British Mandate, Palestine was officially recognized as a State with its own nationality" by dozens of other countries and the international courts.
The Zionists from Europe spoke ill of the Jews from Arabs lands, and maligned them as being too similar to Arabs and not even knowing how to pray or speak in Hebrew. Does that mean that they had no right to be there?
You don’t even bother to address that the Arab population owned the overwhelming majority of land title in Palestine up to 1948. Jews only owned 6%.
