- Summary:
- people were expelled from their homeland, Palestine. Since then the Palestinians became refugees in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, etc., a few became Israeli citizens, a majority of them came under Jordanian and Egyptian custody. Jordan soon extended its sovereignty into the Palestinian towns, villages, and most important, seized their identity and made them "new" citizens of the Hashemite Kingdom. Likewise did Israel with its original Palestinian community, it made them Israeli Arabs. With that transformation, only the refugees were left to be called Palestinians.
