Well then, it was not a trap...but rather a case of the arabs taking advantage of a crisis whos origines lay with the founding of the jewish state and subsequent displacement of populations.

as you say ,israel was already busy with its own influx of refugees...why ?
because israel desperately needed more jews to form a state.
Israels motive is clear.
Israel also had donations to finance the intergration of arriving jews.

But what motive and means could arab states have to help...jordan,syria and egypt could hardley be expected to welcome and intergrate large potentially destabilizing refugees from another country.

These countries were themselves desperately poor.

That they were fellow arabs has little to do with the politics and economics of such a choice.
