Nobody in the Arab world is interested in "solving" the Palestinian problem. In every Arab country you can think of, they're treated like lepers, or they would have been easily integrated into other societies decades ago. That Arab countries still have "refugee camps" should tell you everything you need to know. It's as though the Japanese were still in relocation camps today.
Now we have Arab nations that are richer than almost any others. You'd be amazed how little of the aid to the Palestinians comes from them compared to places like Europe. The Arabs WANT their cannon fodder to be angry and near-crazed.
Lebanon annexed the West Bank in 1947, and owned it for almost 20 years. They could have created a Palestinian homeland with the stroke of a pen.
It's interesting to look at the original U.N. partition plan map, and realize how much territory the Arabs would have if they had just left it alone in the first place.
