Which Arab group is most closely related to Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews?

[chalcogen]

And those in the far south(Houranis) are Jordanian-ish right? In that case it's definitely Lebanese which are closer.



Palestinians have some(I think like 30%) Bedouin admixture which pushes them away from Jews. It makes sense that their closest relatives would be the least admixed Levantines.

Could Samaritans fit the bill? I don't know how admixed they are but they do live in the same area.

Basically this along with the Christians and the Druze with some Muslims.

Technically Kingdom of Judah was geographically closer to Modern day Jordan than to Modern day Lebanon.
Kingdom of Israel (Samaria) was closer Modern day to Lebanon.

It would make sense that Lebanese are the closest. Afterall they're western shifted. While Palestinian and Syrians are southern shifted.
