    I was calculating about $100 billion conservatively to relocate 2 million people. The long term cost could be over a trillion. I wonder why everyone is balking at the idea of taking them in.

      I think it’s also just the destabilizing effect of adding millions of immigrants. Jordan is only 11-12M people; Egypt is about 10x that amount. Both are strongly anti-Islamist and anyone who takes in Palestinians would be taking in some % of Hamas.
