Since most of the armistice lines between Israeli forces and Jordanian forces were inside Palestine, there was little reason to mention Palestine's borders. However, the border between the West Bank and Jordan have changed little if any from there definition in 1922. That is the original border between Palestine and Jordan.
Wrong, as usual.

"Palestine's" borders for the Jewish homeland were established in 1922 by the League of Nations, from the Jordan River to the Med. Sea and from Galilee to the Negev.
