It was 6 months into the Nakba before the Arab armies intervened.It is my understanding that the Arab League initiated the conflict in 1948 causing a political adaptation that culminated in the outcomes we see today.
Annexation is a crime. It is an act of aggression.When I ask for a specific international incident where the Arab Palestinian was victimized, I simply do not get a response that has any foundation.

※→ P F Tinmore, et al,
Annexation of territory that the Hashemite Kingdom "abandoned" is not a crime.

I think you have made a mistake...
Annexation of the territory is a geopolitical action. Now there might be a case for:
Article 8 (2) (e) (xii). Elements of Crimes, Rome StatutesWar crime of destroying or seizing the enemy’s property
Seizing property from an owner and annexation of territory are two entirely different discussions. Even the seizer of the enemy's property MUST: "Conduct took place in the context of and was associated with an armed conflict, NOT of an international character."
SO! I ask again for an example.
The arguments that might be raised:
◈ IF you say the conflict is of an "international character," THEN that entails that there is a sovereign State of Israel.◈ IF you say that you are fighting off an "invasion," THEN that means the entirety of the territory, formerly under the Mandate, is all one political subdivision. THUS even the "destroying and seizure crimes are NOT applicable.Depending on how this question is answered, the answer will have other ramifications on other issues.

“Annexation” is acquiring territory by force and is a flagrant violation of international law. As such it can have no effect on the legal status of the territory, which remains de jure occupied.
International law is crystal clear on this matter – annexation is unlawful. Israel’s continued pursuit of this policy further illustrates its cynical disregard for international law. Such policies do not change the legal status of the territory and its inhabitants under international law as occupied nor remove Israel’s responsibilities as the occupying power under international humanitarian law
