Wrong, try again.
It was in existance for 11 years.
Though I did make a mistake there as 4 countries apart from Egypt recognised it.

For a start there are two seperate events there in what you quoted and they are decades apart.
But on the one you are on about you are again surprisingly very wrong. Meir and Abdullah had already negotiated the deal where Transjordan would sieze the areas of the west bank allocated to the proposed Palestinian Arab State under partition. The origins of that deal go back to before WW2, though the Hashemite dream of a greater Syria went far beyond the just adding the west bank to Transjordan
When the war finally came Jordan took that land and illegally "annexed" it, the only other people to recognise it were the british who had sponsored the kingdom from the outset.
