That's not the reason at all.

Egypt pretty much despises the Palestinians and wants nothing to do with taking them in. The other states also have a very chequered history with them and most hate Hamas. Bottom line, none of them have any desire to see Palestinian statehood. It's not remotely in their interests.

Good article on this I've posted a link to above, featuring an interview with someone who knows that part of the world inside out.

I worked in Cairo prior to the Arab spring so I do attempt to keep tabs on things, but you won't find a more mixed-up/mistrustful region than the Middle East. Bampot region would be more accurate. There will never be peace there and blaming Israel for all its ills is off the mark.
It suffers, and always has, from being a crucial geopolitical area. Ottoman empire breaks up, Britain steps in, British Empire breaks up, US/Soviets step-in.

The populace are just unlucky pawns.
