That may be a polite understatement if they are unable to distinguish between a "refugee" and a "threat to national security". If they fail to find a workaround, they are in essence, saying "we would rather commit suicide than deport this guy".
But then, after a few moments of further thought it may be they see their choices as either deporting him to a country that will kill him, or to one that would be happy to have him as a part of their national effort (Saudi Arabia). They may have concluded the best solution, and one consistent with their national policy, was to keep him.
