Please, check if the following passage is grammatically correct. Thanks!
Altogether, the Palestinians constitute the absolute majority of Jordan's population. Although this majority is estimated at 70%, the Jordanian official claim is that the Palestinians do not exceed 30%. The Jordanian regime's main task has always been uniting between the two central elements of the population – the Bedouins and the Palestinians. In the recent years this task has won the label: "Jordan first", that is, all the residents of Jordan should adopt the Jordanian common and political identity and bridge the cultural and traditional gaps between them. Yet, whereas the King and his loyalists speak about a "holy unity", the Palestinians express their resentment of being marginalized. This feeling of theirs stems from the fact that the positions of power are usually in the hands of the Bedouins, while the Palestinians are barred from playing a significant role in the government. Therefore, they constitute the private- economic sector. The Palestinians largely occupy positions such as merchants, contractors, liberal professions or academics, while the Bedouins hold senior positions in the army, police and the security services.
