This completely false. Five countries neighboring Syria - Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt - host 97% of the refugees. Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan have taken in 3 million refugees.

Egypt and Iraq have another 200,000 are much poorer than Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan and have taken in 200,000 which is more than all of Europe combined.

Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and UAE refuse to take in refugees in large numbers. They are also known for horrible human rights abuses. It would be foolish to attempt to go to these countries as a refugee.

candl does not talk about neighbouring countries but about the Golf countries, so he is right.
