one thing that wikipedia article dedicates 1 sentence and only in order to dismiss, it's that there was significant arab immigration into area when it got economic boost after the arrival of the jews. there are estimates of 100k - 300k migrants in 20s and 30s as border with jordan and egypt was unsupervised. somewhat indirect confirmation of this, will be for example hamas minister of interior and security claiming that most of them have either egyptian or saudi origins: https://www.memri.org/tv/hamas-minister-interior-and-national-security-fathi-hammad-slams-egypt-over-fuel-shortage-gaza https://www.memri.org/tv/hamas-minister-interior-and-nationa... a good chunk of actual palestinians are probably descendants of jews that got "culturally colonized" . but it's not known how much of them. i looked in a past through a bunch of genetic studies that were made that establish that palestinians are genetically native/related to jews. what i didn't find is how they collected data and if they discarded data that was "inconvenient" for purpose of analysis
