Also Ukraine is a large country, civilians who were not drafted have mostly evacuated westward, and Poland and other countries have taken in other countless Ukrainian refugees. Meanwhile, Egypt has built barbed wire fences to prevent Palestinians from crossing the border and taking refuge there. And no other countries are presently accepting large numbers of Palestinian refugees at all.


The barbed wire fences were equally built by Israel, are they not? Israel definitely controls that border.

The current geopolitical outcome of Egypt accepting large numbers of Palestinian is that Israel does what it is doing now to Palestine, to Egypt at some point in the future.


Sadly, whoever takes the fleeing will likely have tremendous headaches in the future -to their own government- because of the people.

Jordan took a large number in the past and they were terrible guests -attempting to overthrow the sovereign government- and got expelled. Black September left a very bad taste in nearly everyone’s mouth. Governments friendly towards Palestine are very much against physically taking them after those events


Likely didn't state it clearly enough in my original response, but that's my take too.

Also, why would Egypt let in those that might provoke conflict and war with Israel?

It's a fools mission, and one which Egypt was quite clear on in November/December it didn't want to embark on.


I think the Egyptian fence has been built by Egyptians.

That border is even more tightly controlled than the Israeli one AFAIK.

Also, some useful conext:

The Israeli border wasn't always like today. It has been progressively tightened step by step as nutjobs on the Arab side used whatever leeway they had to stage suicide attacks and smuggle in rocket parts.


That response is just random propaganda. Can you provide some actual verifiable facts please, or at the very least, something based on your experience and insight?


Egypt is categorically not closing their border to Palestinians out of fear of an Israeli invasion.


Egypt currently definitely is, other than in very individual cases.

From Google: ================= Egypt, however, has warned against an influx of refugees. It facilitates humanitarian aid into Gaza, but has said a mass exodus of Palestinians out of Gaza into Egypt is a red line, saying it fears Israel might never let the Palestinians go back. =====================

And Egypts real fear is that the Palestinians in Egypt will try to take back Palestine. Which wouldn't be very good for Egypt and engage them in a war with Israel.


Your own quote directly contradicts your assertion.


Apologies, which part of the quote is a contradiction? I'm not seeing it.
