    Egypt and Jordan have a complicated history here with Black September (and similar events in Egypt). Radical extremists went with Palestinian refugees to Egypt and Jordan, and they caused civil war and disruption. Most notably in Jordan, where the king was assassinated iirc.

    Of course, this is no excuse for them not taking refugees, but I understand their reticence. Having a comprehensive screening process to make sure that bad actors can’t get in would be the solution.
