Yeah good luck with that. Egypt and Jordan have been aggressively opposed to Palestinian refugees for the past 50 years, and that's just been the refugees or people crossing the border for other reasons. Remember, it's Egypt that controls the Rafah border checkpoint and they also control the wall with Gaza.
Jordan has similar but less aggressive security guidelines for keeping out Palestinians.
Egypt and Jordan have various economic and diplomatic goals there. I'm not too well versed on it, but it's probably because they have pretty normalized relations with the western powers, so their bourgeois class wants tighter security.
Like look at Lebanon and Syria. They're a lot more lenient on accepting Palestinians. Southern Lebanon has a huge Palestinian population and Israel just invaded them. So Trump is somehow gonna tell Egypt and Jordan to accept hundreds of thousands of people, which is something those two countries have spent 50 years of foreign policy trying to prevent? Yeah ok
I think Trump does not actually care about whether any country accepts Palestinian residents. He's creating a permission structure for Israel to continue bombing Gaza civilians. The article also mentions that Trump just approved more 2000 pound bomb shipments to Israel. When Israel starts dropping those 2000 pound bombs on civilians again, he's going to blame Egypt and Jordan for not accepting the refugees.
