They all refused; not because they don't want the Palestinians, but because they don't want to see the Zionists steal any more lives and displace more people.
BS. Maybe (probably) it wasn't the entire reason, but even a cursory look at the past 50-100 years shows quite clearly that any country (Western or Middle Eastern) which takes in large groups of Palestinians has issues with them. And with one exception, there's basically no one in the middle east able to take them safely.
The PLO tried to take over Jordan in the early 70s, but lost and got kicked out.
They went to Lebanon, and first created their own autonomous zone there and then kicked off a 15 year civil war which resulted in Israel occupying southern Lebanon up until 2000 and Syria occupying northern Lebanon up until 2005.
Syria has historically been supportive of Palestinian groups but they are in no place to take anyone in at the moment due to the whole country basically being destroyed at the moment.
Egypt literally built a wall to keep people from Gaza out, and is actively expanding a buffer zone between them and Gaza.
Iraq? Thanks to George W Bush, the place is a massively unstable political and economic wreck and is in no position to help anyone.
That basically just leaves Saudi Arabia. They are politically and economically stable enough to take in Palestinians, but what possible reason would they have to do so given that pretty much every other country in the area has issues with the Palestinians?
