Unfortunately, this conflict is based on the clashing of religious paradigms, and it will never be solved peacefully unless one party is wiped out completely. At this point, it is all but impossible to make ultimate justifications for either party for any meaningful resolution. Too much has happened and for too long. Generations of people have been locked in, and the reasons don't even really matter to them anymore.
However, consider this. There are some 50 Islamic countries in the world, should the Jewish people not be allowed to have even one? And why is it that even Palestine's Muslim neighbors are not willing to take Palestinians in in this dire situation? Seems weird, unless there is a very good reason.

Bolded: And this is why we need a 2-state solution like, 4 decades ago.

Seriously, they should have started implementing this right after the Yom Kippur war, not after Israel started sending settlers to the west bank.

Italic: apart from Egypt, those countries have a rather small population and none of them have any significant infrastructure in place to take in migrants. They take in what they can, but there's simply too many of them for all those countries:

For instance, Jordan has just over 11 million inhabitants, out of which over 2.4 millions are Palestinian refugees. That's already almost one in four inhabitants.

Syria is still in a state of civil war - even though it's a frozen stalemate right now with no fighting - with masses of internally displaced people, there is simply no space for any additional refugees from other countries.

Most people living in south Lebanon are already Palestinians or of Palestinian origin, hence why the Hezbollah is headquartered and so strong there. The country pretty much went bankrupt in 2019 and covid, the Beirut port explosion (where most of it's good got shipped in and out of the country), the Russian invasion of Ukraine (Lebanon got most of it's grains and food from Ukraine) and US sanktions against the Hezbollah not helping matters for any meaningful recovery. In short, they are in no state to take in any refugees right now.

Finally, Egypt has an acute lack of drinking water already and is thus unwilling to take more in than they can supply water for. Also, Egypt may look large, but most is just desert and the vast majority of the population is living along the nile with a population density close to the one in Gaza already, so there's not exactly much space for more refugees, especially since they took in half a million Syrian and Sudanese refugees already.
