Palestinians, especially those in West Bank, actually have a decent claim to Jordan though. Many of them were pushed out by the Hashemites, a Saudi dynasty, into what is now the West Bank and Israel. For a lot of them, Jordan is their ancestral homeland before the Hashemite dynasty took over in 1921.
