The West Bank reincorporated into Jordan? Why not? Until the British partition of Palestine, the Jordan had never been the eastern frontier of any state. Numerous places mentioned in the Bible are in present day Jordan. The majority there is Palestinian, naturally forming a single people with their relatives across the river.
The Bedouin elite, led by the Hashemites themselves, would have to clear off back to what is now Saudi Arabia. But it really is an awfully long time since we and the French owed them a favour. And they haven't exactly been any good at repaying it.
In fact, if a Palestinian State were ever established in the West Bank, and everyone knows that it will be, then this reunion would rapidly happen anyway. The pressure for it on both sides would be unstoppable.
