Why Egypt and Jordan Aren't Welcoming Gaza Refugees

Mon Jan 27 2025
President Trump recently suggested that Egypt and Jordan should take in Palestinian refugees from Gaza. But both countries turned down the idea. Why? Let's dig into it. Imagine if refugees moved to these countries. The conflict could spread, making things worse, not better. Plus, Egypt and Jordan fear that refugees might not return to Gaza. For Palestinians, staying on their land is crucial. Both countries are already dealing with their own issues. They're hosting millions of refugees. Taking in more could cause problems. It might even threaten the peace deals they have with Israel. History plays a big role here too. Many Palestinians see this as a repeat of past events, like the Nakba. They're worried about being permanently pushed out. So, while Trump's idea might seem straightforward, it's actually quite complex.
