According to this website:

At the end of 1946 there were a total of approx 1.2M non-Jewish Palestinians live in under the British mandate. Since the large population centers of Jenin, Nablus, Ramallah, Tulkarm and Hebron, as well as Eastern Jerusalem remained under Jordanian Control and Gaza remained under Egypt, it would be safe to say that at least half of the Arab population was not affected by the theoretical Naqkba. That would leave half, or approximately 600,000 who might have been affected. No considering there were at least 300,000 Arabs in the State of Israel in 1949...in the most there were 300,000 made refugee. So the claims of 650,000 to 1 mil refugees is just another lie...
