What countries border palestine?
It depends on how you define Palestine. If you define it as the territories under the de facto control of the Palestinian Authority, it only borders Israel.

If you consider all of the Palestinian Territories, also including the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, it borders Israel, Jordan, and Egypt. If you consider the former Mandate of Palestine that many Arabs use when they discuss Palestine replacing Israel, it would border Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon (but no Israel since Israel would be gone).

The British Mandate of Palestine covered all of current day Israel (including the occupied territories) and Jordan, as well as parts of Syria. Currently however, the term Palestine refers to the Occupied Territories where Israel has put the Palestinians previously occupying what is now Israel. The Israeli Defense Forces controls Palestine with an iron fist, though recently there has been efforts to bring the Palestinian Authority to power. This has not been successful as of yet because of many things, among them Israel's want for an Israeli Jerusalem without Palestinians and Israel's wants for better safety for their citizens (leading to much worse safety for Palestinians).

That territory today includes the countries of Israel and Jordan, as well as the West Bank and Gaza Strip territories. Others refer to Palestine only as the territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. There are various other definitions, and to many it is a highly charged emotional and political subject.
