Gaza Under attack

Re: Gaza Under attack

Jordan’s experience really puts them off. Jordan hosted large numbers of Palestinian refugees and let them settle in Jordan, and then 20 years later the Palestinians led by Yasser Arafat started a civil war to try and take over Jordan. If it wasn’t for the brutal counter-insurgency partly planned by Zia-ul-Haq which killed thousands of Palestinians, the Jordanian government would have been overthrown.

After that, no Arab country wants to take on the risk of inviting in a large Palestinian population.
