No country wants the Palestinians. Definitely not the Jordanians nor the Egyptians, considering the chaos Palestinians have caused to Jordan and Egypt in the past (Jordan had accepted many refugees decades back, who tried to assassinate the king) and recent past (Egypt has banned the Muslim Brotherhood and built a huge wall to prevent more Palestinians from coming in). Existential threats to their political stability. In the past they have even caused issues in Syria and Lebanon.

There is absolutely no way Egypt would let a couple million of such people go there as refugees (or even worse) integrate into the local population. Even if someone blew a hole in the Egyptian wal (not sure though why that would be right …it would be like someone blowing a hole in the Trump wall so that Mexicans can go to better places) …anyways, even if someone ‘blew a hole’ in the wall, Egypt would never accept them. They’d be accepting chaos and massive/existential disruption if they did, so they will not.

It is a tricky problem without easy solutions. No place on earth would want to receive them.

Yes. Understood that they’re dangerous and nobody wants them anywhere in or nearby.
Many (not all) of them are Egyptian or have Egyptian families, heritage. But no point in arguing either the Egyptian government — they’ve had them before and definitely don’t want them back. Tragic but understandable. This all underscores the need for safe transit (Israel is setting up a pathway but another one through the Egyptian wall is an obvious need, imho. At the least, it would substantially expedite humanitarian movement out of the Hamas hostilities zone.

That Indonesian island of President Trump will help a great deal as a destination alternative, too.
