Original Note:
OP's claim that "Israel was afraid of the Palestinians falling under the responsibility of the UNHCR’s forerunner, the IRO" is misleading. IRO only operated in Europe, in areas controlled by Western allies, hence Palestinians could not be its responsibility, by definition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Refugee_Organization#cite_note-1:~:text=IRO%20only%20worked%20in%20areas%20controlled%20by%20Western%20armies%20of%20occupation
