CAIRO (AP) — As desperate Palestinians in sealed-off Gaza try to find refuge under Israel’s relentless bombardment in retaliation for Hamas’ brutal Oct. 7 attack, some ask why neighboring Egypt and Jordan don’t take them in.
The two countries, which flank Israel on opposite sides and share borders with Gaza and the occupied West Bank, respectively, have replied with a staunch refusal. Jordan already has a large Palestinian population.

Make your point, otherwise I might just assume you mean to say the Palestinians in Gaza deserve what's coming to them.

Read my initial response to Klassified as to why I think it never happened.
And with Hamas being funded by Israel, would they allow the Palestinians simply to leave as the citizens and their plight is basically their whole cash cow. Without them the jig is up.
Do you know why Israel chose dealing with Hamas over the Palestinian authority?

Thanks for addressing the OP.
If neighboring nations wanted to take in the Gaza folks, they would have done so years ago.
Palestinians in Egypt refers to the Palestinian refugees who fled or were expelled to Egypt during the 1948 Palestine war, and their descendants, as well as Palestinians expelled from Jordan, following the events of Black September. Palestinians and their descendants have never been naturalized and so keep the distinct status of Palestinian refugees. Some Palestinians, mostly Christians,[1] received Egyptian citizenship through marriage with Egyptian nationals or by other means.

In 2005 or now?
Because the US has also been funding Hamas.

BAGHDAD, Nov 8 (Reuters) - An armed drone targeted al-Harir airbase hosting U.S. forces in northern Iraq, two security sources said on Wednesday, following sirens warning of a possible attack at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad.
The sirens sounded at the U.S. embassy on Wednesday evening, several people in Baghdad's heavily-fortified Green Zone that houses the embassy said, but there were no reports of projectile impacts or casualties.
A spokesperson for the U.S. embassy and an Iraqi government security official did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
