Reason is, in 1949, they sided with Arab neighbors to attack Israel. They lost the land in armed conflict.

This particular territory had the best agricultural soil and it had the most important port (Jaffa). That port was the primary means of trade for them. Palestine rightfully told Israel to go pound sand. Israel replied with a "we are going to take anyway." So, the Arabs attacked them in 1948 since the land was theirs. Israel won and because they got the agricultural land along with the port, Palestine's economy tanked. They have been in poverty ever since.
