When was there a nation-state called Palestine?

History and geography don't change - although borders might. Jordan comprises 78% of the land designated in the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine. Many Arab leaders have attested to that truth during the past 100 years. That is the reality that cannot be denied. Any settlement of the Arab-Jewish conflict cannot occur without Jordan's participation.

King Hussein did not cut the West Bank (not "Palestine" as you wrongly state) loose until 1988 - and then only under extreme pressure from the PLO - which still maintains its claim to rule in Jordan and remove the ruling Hashemite dynasty. The longer King Abdullah holds out negotiating with Israel, the more tenuous his rule in Jordan becomes.
