Actually, there are several mistakes of fact embedded here. Let us clean them up. We will focus on the West Bank and Jerusalem.
Israel attempted to establish the "Jewish State" they would call "Israel." The formation of the Jewish State was a recommendation of a particular apportionment outlined in A/RES/181(II) and adopted by the General Assembly.
Using the power of Jewish determination, and in coordination with the UN Palestine Commission, the institutions necessary for the turn-key State, the National Council for the Independence of the Jewish State, Israel was established 14/15 May 1948. However, the Arab Legion had been already in play for half a year.
On November 30, 1947, the Arab Legion began operations in support of supply convoys to Arab forces around Jerusalem. Glubb tried to distance his force from direct involvement in the fighting–until May 1948, when the Jews of the Etzion Bloc, a group of settlements on the road north of Hebron, attacked Arab reinforcements and supplies destined for Jerusalem. On May 4, a week before the British Palestine Mandate would expire, Arab tanks, armored cars of the Desert Patrol, and riflemen drawn from the Arab locals stormed the four Jewish settlements that comprised the Etzion Bloc. At stake for Glubb, from a military perspective, was a huge British-organized arms convoy bound for Amman.
.In the course of the Arab-Israel War, The Arab Legion/Jordan accepted the:
◈ S/1302/Rev.1. 3 April 1949 ARMISTICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN JORDAN AND ISRAEL at Rhodesshall remain in force until a peaceful settlement between the Parties is achieved.The Armistice Demarcation Lines defined in articles V and VI of this Agreement are agreed upon by the Parties without prejudice to future territorial settlements or boundary lines or claims of either Party relating thereto.The Jordan-Israeli Peace Treaty (1994) • which was the "Peaceful Settlement" officially ended the conflict.

Technically, the Green Line established by the 1949 Armistice lost practical relevance as a result of the Six-Day War of 1967. Other than for historical value, at the conclusion of the 1994 Treaty, the International boundary between Israel and Jordan was the Jordanian River.
The Arab Palestinians were NOT a party to either the Armistice or Treaty. The territorial dispute over the territory (formerly sovereign Jordanian) is whether or not the Arab Palestinians have any claim at all, and whether or not the conflict is a Non-International Armed Conflict (NIAC) or an Armed conflict at the level of a civil war.
I suspect that no one really wants to make that call.
Most Respectfully,
