One little covered issue, which is important to our citizens concerned with repatriating immigrants from our countries, is that several Arab states want their citizens back!
Yet support for constant war in the region, and the cabal controlling the West, makes this impossible.
Syria has expressed on numerous occasions that it would like its citizens to come home.
Lebanon is also concerned with the massive flight of its educated classes to the West (www.ft.com/content/44633cbe-77e7-4c3f-a8b2-cce88b0af331), and would like them to return to ensure that the country can continue to function.
Iraq has attempted to convince its diaspora to return for decades (www.icmpd.org/file/download/48090/file/Towards%2520an%2520Iraqi%2520diaspora%2520engagement%2520policy.pdf), needing both skilled workers and unskilled workers to rebuild the country.
There are 450,000 Iraqis in Germany (web.archive.org/web/20171209232407/http://www.bib-demografie.de/DE/Aktuelles/Presse/Archiv/2017/2017-03-01-zuwanderung-aussereuropaeische-Laender-fast-verdoppelt.html) alone, and 240,000 Syrians in Sweden.

Instead of giving tens of billions of dollars and seemingly endless logistical support to the Israeli state and for wars in the Middle East, sensible Western governments would be striking deals with these countries.
Treaties and pacts whereby Western states would be able to ensure the deportation of millions of non-Europeans back to countries that want them.
Investing modest sums to ensure Arab states can house people (www.france24.com/en/live-news/20230809-assad-says-destroyed-syria-infrastructure-blocks-refugee-returns) Europeans do not want in our own states is a much more intelligent investment than funding Israeli missile systems.
Our national interest is clearly to work wherever possible to repatriate non-Europeans, not supporting Israel.
