The Palestinian Citizenship Order 1925[1][2][3] was a law of Mandatory Palestine that created a Palestinian citizenship for residents of the territory of Palestine Mandate. It was promulgated on 24 July 1925 and came into force on 1 August 1925.[4] The Order remained in effect until 14 May 1948, when the British withdrew from the Mandate, and Palestinian citizenship came to an end.[5][full citation needed] Israel enacted a Citizenship Law in 1952, while West Bank residents came under Jordan’s nationality law.
