Most of Jordanian tribes have relatives in Palestine but most of their origins go back to KSA. Take for instance Al-Majali which is one of the most prominent tribes in Jordan, this tribe origins go back to Palestine in Al-Khalil and sought refuge in Karak, and that's why it's called مجالي من لجأ. Mine is Al-Sarhan which have people in KSA, Jordan and Palestine. It's like the tribes between Syria and Iraq, they are the same.
No. .
What about people from big cities, lost their tribal identity ?
Jordan & Israel up a tree....k-i-s-s-i-n-g.....
I would like to ask you, is there a tribe in Najed called Benu Saab. My grandfather told me they came from Najed over Salah Aldin call for Jihad in Levant area, they settled there and called Saabneh, Soub, and Benu Saab, most of them became villagers. My great grandfather who is Sarhani married one of them, but since it was a shame for Biduins to marry villagers, he was called by his relatives a husband of Sabawiyah until it became the name of our family branch, so it's a nickname.
I'm talking about big tribes not small and fragmanted ones which could belong to one of those tribes, however, there are allot of people of Palestinian, Syrian, Kurd, Caucus, Iraqi, Egyptian, Turkman origins. But I tell you that most of Jordanian prominent tribes are of Saudi origins.
No, Actually, the Jordanian society has 3 structures. First is the tribals , Christians Maronites , and the Palestinians/Iraqis/other refugess.What about people from big cities, lost their tribal identity ?
I recognized the name of the tribe ,but in KSA they're urbans not Bedouins :/ anyway, you Tamimyis , Maqablih , Malik and many others along with the Royal families have Saudi origins. Practically, the Jordanians and Saudis share the same identity more or less.
Sadly, Jordan never had the luxury to prosper due to the flow of refugees. I remember once they wanted to upgrade their Mirage Aircrafts so bad ,but they couldn't. They had to spend their money on nationalizing the refugees. Luckily, they upgraded their Aircrafts later
I see Jordan is suddenly interested in refugees.
This is the same country that caused a 'palestinian' refugee crisis by declaring war on Israel in 1948 and 67. They occupied the West bank and kept Palestinians in malaria-infested refugee camps. Thankfully Israel worked tirelessly to remove malaria and increased Palestinian life expectancy by more than 30 years.
Good to see Jordan have changed these days and are trying to help refugees rather than creating refugees by their aggressive military exploits that back-fired spectacularly.

dem Arabs love wars (no pun intended)Attack Jordan!! They can't even break the rebels siege on Damascus, even WITH foreign mercenaries(aka Hizballah, Mehdi army, IRGC). And that's against a rag tag militia not a professional army.
Do you know what backstabbing means? no?
It means someone betraying a friend or ally. To Jordan & KSA, Syria wasn't a 'friend' to be backstabbed, but an enemy that was tolerated until the right moment(March 2011).
Being a member of AL doesn't automatically bring you to the friend zone.
In any case, Israel has its own borders with Syria, why do they need Jordan? Israel repeatedly violated Syrian air space in the last decade, and Syria responded with the usual "we have the right to retaliate" without ever retaliating, of course.
Jordan's real mistake is its own undecidedness with regard to Syria, but that is expected from a regime so fragile as the Jordanian goverment.
Wait don't you guys worship Al Albait? You know what Hashemite means?
I'll give you a guess, its not the same lineage as Khomaini.
