when Jordan was created with land from British Mandate Palestine following the same model as the India-Pakistan partition.

I am surprised when so many people who I thought were educated have no clue about that.
However I have not heard that Jordan has opened their arms to their long lost cousins...

“when Jordan was created with land from British Mandate Palestine following the same model as the India-Pakistan partition.”

Transjordan was never really under British rule.

The Arabs liberated it from the Turks.

On the other hand, Britain did rule Palestine.

The Emirate of Transjordan (Arabic: إمارة شرق الأردن, romanized: Imārat Sharq al-Urdun, lit. ‘the emirate east of the Jordan’), officially known as the Amirate of Trans-Jordan, was a British protectorate established on 11 April 1921, which remained as such until achieving formal independence in 1946.
