From the Ma'an news agency:
That last paragraph is the most telling. Now why would they on the one hand say that they support (and the current support for the Temple Mount goings on) and yet in practice treat them so poorly.

JERASH REFUGEE CAMP, Jordan (Ma'an) -- Born in Jordan, 27-year-old Muhammad’s life hardly resembles a typical Jordanian's. Lacking any political or civil rights, Muhammad explained that he is forbidden from working in most jobs, even a teacher at a public school. Muhammad faces these rigorous restrictions because his parents fled to Jordan from Gaza following the 1967 War.
In addition to the economic restrictions, refugees from Gaza enjoy no political rights. Unlike Palestinian refugees from the West Bank in 1948, 1967 refugees from Gaza cannot vote in Jordanian elections or serve in the parliament. Gazan refugees are provided with a two-year temporary passport, without a national number.
Jordanian leaders consistently express their verbal support for the Palestinian cause. After meeting with Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdalllah in June of 2015, Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour described the “brotherly and close ties” between Palestinians and Jordanians.
That last paragraph is the most telling. Now why would they on the one hand say that they support (and the current support for the Temple Mount goings on) and yet in practice treat them so poorly.
