The Emirate remained part of Palestine until 1946 when independence was granted by Great Britain with the consent of the League of Nations and it was renamed the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan,
That decision in 1946 irrevocably created an exclusively independent Arab state in 78% of historic Palestine – truncating Palestine to just 22% of the size within which the Jewish people had initially been given the opportunity in 1922 to reconstitute the Jewish National Home.
1948 Palestine therefore was only 22% of the size of 1922 – 1946 Palestine. 78% of Palestine – today called Jordan – together with its Palestinian Arab inhabitants had already achieved statehood in 1946.
Arab propagandists deliberately ignore the events of 1922 and 1946 to justify their claim that Israel now occupies 100% of Palestine.
