Whether that is even feasible 70 years later is a legitimate question, but there is no basis for the claim that Jordan is a "Palestinian state."
There are 2 very clear bases for calling Jordan a Palestinian state:
1. In 1923, over 3/4 of 1922 Palestine was set aside as the Arab state of TransJordan.
2. In 1948, after ethnically cleansing the Jews that they didn't kill, the English and Nazi led Transjordanian invasion resulted in the annexation of the West Bank and Jerusalem by Tranjordan, which became the Kingdom of Jordan. No one claimed that the Palestinians lost their state.
That is simply not true. The original 1947 U.N. plan for the British Mandate of Palestine included THREE separate areas: an "Arab State," a "Jewish State," and a quasi-sovereign area around Jerusalem that would function under international governance.
Arab nations rejection this plan made it dead letter. It is null and void and has about as much legitimacy as the Kellog-Briande Pact.
