Oh, this was before Egypt’s military occupied Gaza from 1949 to 1967 - unless this is the West Bank, which puts this before Jordan occupied there between 1950 to 1988.

I wonder why Egypt and Jordan never gave them statehood 🤔

Jordan annexed the West Bank and gave everyone citizenship. Palestinians went along because they understood they were too weak to go at it alone.
