They lived there before major jewish settlement began in the mid 20th century. And the British kind of promised them they'd have sovereignty of it once they left, but then they pulled a switch and gave it to the jewish settlers instead.

@Xuan12 In February 1947, Britain announced its intent to terminate the Mandate for Palestine, referring the matter of the future of Palestine to the United Nations. The hope was that a binational state would ensue, which meant an unpartitioned Palestine.
