☆ Why Jordan and Egypt are saying 'no' to accepting Palestinian refugees from Gaza
  + stars: | 2023-10-21 | by ( Joshua Zitser | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
Jordan and Egypt have said they won't take in Palestinian refugees from Gaza. AdvertisementAdvertisement"There will be no refugees in Jordan and no refugees in Egypt," said Jordanian King Abdullah II this week, declaring it a "red line" that would not be crossed. It is also the country that hosts the largest number of Palestinian refugees, according to Amnesty International. Not being seen as complicit in Palestinian displacement"Palestinians themselves, of course, are very wary about fleeing to Egypt, because 70% of the population of Gaza are refugees," said Doyle. Many of the Palestinians who live in Jordan, Egypt, and elsewhere in the region first arrived there after being displaced in 1948, or following the Six-Day War in 1967.

☆ Egypt does not see why country should ‘bear solely’ the responsibility for Gaza’s refugee influx
  + stars: | 2023-10-18 | by ( Lee Ying Shan | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Egypt does not see why it should squarely shoulder the responsibility of taking in refugees coming from the besieged Gaza Strip, said Egypt's Minister of Foreign Affairs Sameh Shoukry. The International Organization for Migration agency in August 2022 assessed that there were 9 million refugees hailing from 133 countries in Egypt at that time. The Rafah crossing, which is located on the Gaza-Egypt border, is the sole passage point between Egypt and the Gaza Strip. Egypt tightly restricts the Rafah crossing and has been recently reluctant to open it for the movement of people, unless Israel allows humanitarian aid to enter the territory. I think those who have greater resources should probably bear greater responsibilities," the Egyptian foreign affairs minister said.
