What do you mean by “back”? The West Bank was never legitimately part of Jordan - they forcibly annexed it in 1948.
As for the peace treaties:
Jordan simply did not have the ability to fight Israel any longer, or to deal with Palestinian factions operating in its territory.
Egypt wanted its land back after failing to reclaim it in 1973.

It seems you are aware that peace deal with Egypt is what got Sinai back to Egypt.
Regarding this comment specifically, if you took the time to read the next sentence, you would have understood that “back” is referring to Jordan.
I have read your other comments. I am not going to engage further, for two reasons:
1. You’re a bit late to the party, and I primarily respond to engage with readers.
2. You’re clearly coming in with a closed mind.
