Question: why is Syria the one to set up a puppet Palestinian government? Jordan already had a head start in this area with the West Bank and Syria was always the junior partner in its relationship with Egypt. Was Egypt hit relatively hard? Does that mean that Syria is now leader of the Arab nationalist movement? Why didn't Syria succeed in getting Egypt to join a United Arab Republic like Egypt did with it?
A slight POD for Syria
Akram Hourani and the Baath take over after Soviet involvement in the Suez Crises. King Hussein, still only 21, and challenged on both sides by Syria and Iraq is in too weak a position to take over Palestine.
And yes, Egypt is hit particularly hard, by all sides. British, French, and Soviet bombings hit the major ports and military installations and Soviet bombers nuke Cairo, Alexandria, and the Suez Canal itself (to "gum up" NATO navy operations).
