Palestinians in sealed-off Gaza try to find refuge under Israel’s bombardment in retaliation for Hamas’ brutal Oct. 7 attack. Amid the chaos, the question arises as to why neighbouring Egypt and Jordan are not taking them in. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi made his toughest remarks yet on Wednesday, saying the current war was not just aimed at fighting Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, "but also an attempt to push the civilian inhabitants to migrate to Egypt." He warned this could wreck peace in the region. Jordan’s King Abdullah II gave a similar message a day earlier, saying, "No refugees in Jordan, no refugees in Egypt."
