“Just drop them into Iran.”

I understand and do not disagree with the sentiment. However, one of the (attributes, perhaps?) of international law is you can’t deport somebody to a country that refuses to accept them. While I feel that these particular invaders should get a free airplane ride and get tossed out from about a thousand feet (I’d let them buy a parachute if they want) there is no place in the Middle East that wants them. I believe it was a Kuwaiti who said, off the record, “We’d be crazy to take them.”

Jordan ended up with a huge number of “Palestinians.” I don’t recall the circumstances, but I would guess refusing wasn’t an option. Jordan has very close ties and cordial relations with Israel. The biggest source of danger to the kingdom and unrest comes from the “Palestinian” refugees.

Saudi Arabia has built a wall to keep refugees out of their kingdom. For Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, being a citizen comes with a paycheck. That’s the only thing keeping those societies stable. In a word, bribes. Those countries are severely stretched at the moment to continue paying bribes. Saudi Arabia, to save some money, recently converted from the Islamic calendar to the Gregorian (Catholic) calendar, which as a few fewer paydays.
