"This is not true. Jews were never forbidden to live there. "

Prophet Mohammed's pronouncement that there can't be two religions on Arabian Peninsula is responsible for the fact that even today no Jew is allowed to enter Saudi Arabia and no Jew is allowed to live in Jordan.

Jordan has a law explicitly prohibiting any Jew from becoming a citizen.[7] and that "In Jordan, no Jew can be a citizen or own land.".[8] Jordan's laws against Jewish residence has been criticized by Benjamin Natanyahu.[9]

Although the White Paper stated that the Balfour Declaration could not be amended and that the Jews were in Palestine by right, it partitioned the area of the Mandate by excluding the area east of the Jordan River from Jewish settlement. That land, 76% of the original Palestine Mandate by area but mostly very sparsely populated desert, was renamed Transjordan and was given to the Hashemite Emir Abdullah from Mecca, son of King Hussein of Hejaz, who was soon forced from his kingdom by the ambitious Ibn Saud. This was a reward by the British for the Hashemite family's help in the fight against the Ottoman Empire. Today it is the Kingdom of Jordan ruled by Abdullah's great-grandson, Abdullah II. The majority of Jordanian citizens today are Palestinian refugees.
