the exact numbers used in a graph, they can be found in the report’s annex. The bulk of tables provide results as percentages and use rounding to the nearest percentage. Hence, a zero would represent less than 0.5%. If no case has the value or characteristic in question, this would be represented with a dash (‘-’) in the table. The ‘n’ in a table’s bottom row or rightmost column refers to the number of unweighted observations or ‘cases’, and can represent individuals or households. Finally, a note on transliteration. Occasionally, Arabic terms have been used directly in the text to avoid ambiguity or to reduce long-winded translations. To make the text as accessible as possible, we have opted for an informal transcription system based on Arabic as spoken by our interviewees and without the use of diacritics. Where commonly-used transcriptions of words exist, we have opted for these. In the remainder of cases, we aim to render transcribed words such that they are easily pronounceable for the non-Arabicspeaking reader while remaining easily recognisable to the Arabic-speaking reader. Identifying ex-Gaza Palestinian refugees in the datasets As the surveys (sources i-ii) targeted all Palestinian refugees, a key challenge has been to reliably identify ex-Gaza Palestinian refugees. No question based on the Jordanian categorisation of Palestinian refugees reported unambiguously on whether respondents were ex-Gazan or not 7, and questions designed to classify Palestinian refugees by date and route of displacement, or by place of origin, also produced ambiguities 8. Therefore, possession of a two-year temporary Jordanian passport was used as a proxy. Two-year temporary passports were a key official document issued by Jordanian authorities to ex-Gazans at the time of the surveys and interviews9. This passport does not confer any of the rights of citizenship, but acts as a travel document and is associated with residency rights in Jordan (El-Abed, 2005, p. 81). As these passports were not issued to The Jordanian classification system which was adopted in this and previous surveys by Fafo and DoS comprises four categories of Palestinian refugees: i) ‘Refugee from 1948’ [laji’in] comprises individuals whose place of permanent residence used to be 7 in what is today the State of Israel (‘1948 areas’) and who took refuge in neighbouring countries as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war and was prevented from returning. ii) ‘Displaced from 1967’ [nazihin] comprises individuals who arrived in (the east bank of the river) Jordan in conjunction with the 1967 war, and who was not already a refugee from 1948. iii) ‘Refugee from 1948, then displaced in 1967’ [laji’in] comprises people who were first forced to flee due to the 1948 war and settled in the West Bank (from 1950 part of Jordan) and were then displaced for a second time from the West Bank to Jordan in conjunction with the 1967 war. iv) ‘From the Gaza Strip’ comprises those who arrived in Jordan from Gaza as a result of the 1967 war and were unable to return, some of whom had already been displaced to the Gaza Strip in 1948 [laji’in]. Category iv would normally comprise ex-Gazans; however, overlap between categories and selfascribed identity poses obvious challenges: a Palestine refugee first displaced to Gaza in 1948 and then to Jordan in 1967 may self-report as a ‘1948 refugee, displaced in 1967’ rather than ‘from the Gaza Strip’ when not in fact originating from Gaza (Tiltnes and Zhang, 2013). Of the 96% of residents in Jerash camp who hold two-year temporary passports issued by Jordanian authorities only to ex-Gazans, only 41% report their place of origin to be Gaza. Forty-five per cent report originating from Beersheba (adjacent to the former Gaza governorate) suggesting they were displaced first to Gaza in 1948 and subsequently to Jordan in 1967. However, in terms of the Jordanian classification system, anyone fleeing from Gaza in connection with the 1967 war are categorized as ‘from Gaza Strip’. 8 Again, largely as a result of the distinction between those whose families originated in Gaza and those whose families originated in 1948 areas. 9 In February 2017, the Government of Jordan announced that it would commence issuing five-year temporary passports, such as are issued to West Bank Palestinians, to ex-Gazans upon the second renewal of passports (Prime Ministry, 2017). At the time of the survey and interviews, however, only two-year temporary passports were issued to ex-Gazans. Fafo Report 2019:34 16
