According to UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) tens of billions of dollars (one-third from US taxpayers, the rest mostly from Canada and European countries) have been spent over the last 50 years providing "Palestinian refugees" and their descendants. An estimated half million people 60 years ago, that number is now over four million and increasing daily.
UNRWA's purpose: to insure the "Palestinian Right of Return" - the destruction of Israel.
No Arab country except Jordan -- where they constitute more than two-thirds of the population - accepts them as citizens. Saudi Arabia, for example, recently passed a law allowing all foreigner workers in the country to apply for Saudi citizenship next year - except Palestinians.
More than 400,000 "Palestinian refugees" living in UNWRA-supported "camps" in Lebanon cannot work or even go to school outside their designated areas. Ditto for Syria.
Most "Palestinian refugees" listed by UNRWA (which includes Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, West Bank and Gaza) in 2002, don't even live in the camps, but in nearby villages and towns. All receive free assistance and services for the rest of their life, including their children, their grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, ad infinitum.

The Saudis aren't stupid enough to let the monster they helped create run loose in their country.
Maybe the best thing that could happen to “Palestinians” would be if UN stopped its occupation of “Palestine”?
The pallies could be sent back home to Jordan. After all Jordan is the country that kicked the pallies out.
Jordan does not want them or need them, they still remember “Black September”. Now “Palestinians” are somebody else’s problem - Israel’s, US, EU, UN... and [can be] are used for propaganda, sympathy and as cheap “outsourced suicide labor”.
