What about the GCC nations? I understand not being able to take in 2 million people all at once, but the GCC countries are rich and have space. Why can’t they take in ANY of the Palestinians? What about Qatar? Oman? Bahrain? Saudi?

There used to be a sizable community in Kuwait. They sided with Iraq after the invasion and Kuwait expelled them after the war. They are a group that has a knack for making themselves hated by any nation that hosts them

Please don’t say it’s because Palestinians don’t want to leave Gaza. I’ve been learning more about Palestinians in Gaza and they’re restricted from the ability to migrate. Why? I just don’t understand.

You could ask the same about Israel. Why doesn’t Israel take in the Gazans, make them citizens, and fully integrate them into Israeli society? At least the Palestinians want to be in Israel!

Your answer is the same as for the Arab countries.

I think Israel isn’t interested because of the terrorism?

Well so, there’s this organization called Hamas. And it’s difficult to tell who supports them and who doesn’t.

That’s like being like “why wouldn’t black Americans welcome people from a place that elected the KKK as their leaders?!”

Hamas wasn't always in control of Gaza.

The real reason they don't take in Palestinians, and this is fundamental to understanding the Israeli dilemma, is that the Arab population would be so large that they would win elections.

As long as Israel controls/occupies Palestinian territories, there is this fundamental problem. Either you give them citizenship, and you're no longer a Jewish state, or you treat them as non-citizens, in which case you are an Apartheid state.

The real solution is the Two State solution, which means a separate Palestine. It could happen, but Israel keeps putting settlements in West Bank. Each settlement is a nail in the coffin of the two state solution.

Safe passage routes used to exist. Movement was much freer before Hamas took over.

Please read the history on this.

I agree with this. As I turn it over and over in my mind, Palestine/Palestinian the concept, is a failed state and a failed peoples because of Hamas and because nobody can vet and there are no places for them to go. It's terrible and sad. Do the women having so many babies with men who may or may not be terrorist suppressors have a choice? It seems large families are encouraged and not for any good reason. Just to have more human shields and tragedy.

Gaza's birth rate is only one child per family higher than Israel. It's 3.5-3.8 children per family vs. 2.8 - 3.0 in Israel.

And before Hamas was in control, Palestinians had safe passage between Gaza and the West Bank and could enter Israel more freely.

NOT being run by Hamas has done absolutely nothing for the West Bank. If you're a West Banker, you can be forgiven for thinking, "at least they stick it to the man. We gave up violence and what did it give us? Continued settlement expansion, unrestrained settler violence, random imprisonment, and zero accountability for the casualties from IDF bullets."

Biden nor any administration people have talked about any rescue. What are you talking about? This is bizarre to say the least.

I agree with the poster, maybe giving 6B more will push things along.

Trump would have sent in a rescue squad in immediately.

I think Palestinians are the Ted Cruz of the Middle East. No one likes them, however they don’t like each other either. Not very agreeable people.

Why not take in at least the innocent Palestinian civilians before funding Hamas when you know there will be retaliation?

1) Iran is not Arab but it as also an Islamic extremist state.

2) Russia support Iran like it support other anti-western extremist states to counteract US influence in the region.

A lot of this conflict is rooted in the Cold War.
