THE JORDANIAN NATIONALITY LAW SUPPORTS PRESIDENT TRUMP’S CLAIM THAT JORDAN SHOULD OPEN ITS DOORS TO PALESTINIANS….@POTUS @realDonaldTrump
EVERY PALESTINIAN IS AN NATIVE JORDANIAN WITH THE RIGHT TO RETURN TO THEIR HOMELAND, EAST OF THE JORDAN RIVER, ACCORDING TO JORDANIAN NATIONALITY LAW NO. (6) OF 1954, WHICH STATES: “ANYONE WHO HELD PALESTINIAN NATIONALITY BEFORE MAY 15, 1948, AND HABITUALLY RESIDED IN THE HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN BETWEEN DECEMBER 20, 1949, AND FEBRUARY 16, 1954, IS CONSIDERED A JORDANIAN CITIZEN.”
The Hashemite regime declared itself a kingdom over all Palestinian territories designated for Arabs under the UN Partition Plan and legitimized this through the Jericho Conference. As a result, every resident of Gaza today was considered a resident of Jordanian-controlled territory between 1949 and 1954.
Therefore, the Hashemite regime’s rejection of President Trump’s demand contradicts international law, which prohibits states from rendering individuals stateless or denying them entry into their own country.
The Hashemite Kingdom occupies 78% of British Mandate Palestine. The British Mandate authorities unilaterally and illegitimately installed the Hashemites as a Palestinian self-governing entity until 1946.
By force and coercion, the Hashemite regime stripped Palestinians of their nationality (which was held by both Arabs and Jews alike) in 1949 and forced Palestinian Arabs to carry Jordanian passports.
The majority of Gaza’s population consists of refugees who fled in the 1948 and 1967 wars from areas controlled by the Jordanian Hashemite regime, meaning they are Jordanian citizens by ancestry and have the right to return and settle in their homeland, Jordan.
The Hashemite Kingdom is a fabricated entity. It did not have its own passport until 1949, as its residents relied on Palestinian passports issued by the British Mandate—except for a few government officials who used honorary Jordanian passports. The United Nations did not even recognize Jordan as a state until 1955. Additionally, the Hashemite Kingdom did not have its own currency and relied on the Palestinian pound until 1951.
There is no demographic threat to Jordan, as Jordanians and Palestinians are completely integrated. A U.S. Embassy in Amman’s 2008 cable (leaked by WikiLeaks) stated that only 30% of Palestinians in Jordan were registered with UNRWA, totalling 2 million at the time. This means the total number of Jordanians of Palestinian origin was 6.6 million, making up 97.3% of Jordan’s 6,789,000 population in 2008. Even east-bank Jordanian tribes have Palestinian roots, such as those in Karak (mostly from Hebron) and Bani Sakher (originally from Gaza and Sinai).
The only problem lies with “the monkey in the middle”—the Hashemites, who number fewer than 70 individuals. The U.S. Embassy described them in a 2007 cable as “the Hashemites – a non-Jordanian family” constantly in fear of “a tribal coup of sorts (which has always been avoided in Jordanian politics)”. Our future as Jordanians and Palestinians lies in peace and prosperity through unifying the land and embracing the shared Jordanian-Palestinian destiny, which has existed for over a century. The first step is removing the “ominous crow”— as we Jordanians call the Hashemite occupiers.
there are no palestinians and Jordan is a river
