> Food for thought why Egypt and Jordan refuse to ease the sufferring of Gazans by offering them temporary refugee statuses, until Hamas is eradicated and they could live in Gaza happily ever after.

Historically, Palestinians have destablized those countries. Palestinians assassinated the King of Jordan[1] and a Prime Minister[2]. Not to mention the instability in Lebanon from Palestinian migrants [3]. Eventually Jordan had to expel the Palestinians from Jordan. [4]

Palestinians would be in Palestine if they weren't being ethnically cleansed by the Zionists. Any destabilization rests firmly at the feet of Zionism.
Being displaced from your home country does not give you moral shielding for killing the leaders of another. In fact, I would argue that being displaced from your home means you owe a debt of gratitude to the countries that take you in, which makes bad behavior in them more often reprehensible.
You're doing a lot of work to avoid placing the blame where it belongs: Zionism.
If something terrible happens to you in your life, you don't get to just take it out on random people. That goes doubly for those reaching a hand out in assistance.
Yet that's exactly what Zionists did to Palestine.
