    They already are their problem permanently.: “Estimates of the size of the Palestinian population in Egypt range from 50,245 to 110,000.” The ‘not allowed to return’ thing is a bullshit excuse to deny them citizenship because it doesn’t give them the opportunity if they want it, keeping them as a second class, and Egypt knows it. What about the Palestinians that don’t want to return? The ones who want to live in Egypt? Egypt says fuck them.

      Eh, accepting 2 millions refugees is an enormous feat. No western countries would be willing to accept 2 millions refugees at once, so we realistically can’t expect Egypt, with significantly worse economy than western countries, could accept 2 million refugees without massive assistance from other countries.
