    wrong Muslim sect

    There’s a bit of that but only as far as Lebanon is concerned, because Hezbollah is Shia and Palestinian Muslims (and especially Hamas) are mostly Sunni and there will likely be a fight for power between Hezbollah and Hamas if the latter ever infiltrate Lebanon, because for the past 13 centuries there has never been peace on the same soil between Shia and Sunni armed groups, which is why Lebanon is not opening its doors to Palestinians.

    With regards to Egypt, sect isn’t really the issue as both are Sunni. However, the military that is ruling Egypt has a very rough history with the Muslim Brotherhood (which was very violent back then, almost nothing to do with Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood) from which Hamas was born, so they likely don’t want Hamas terrorists infiltrating Egypt either.

    So neither Egypt nor Lebanon want Palestinians as they’re placing their security and more importantly their political interests above Palestinian lives.
