There have been enough visits by the US Secretary of State to EU countries like Cyprus and Greece to discuss potentially sending people there. They are very close to Isreal and Gaza and there was discussion about a humanitarian safe passage.
I do think Isreal and the US perhaps thought a more welcoming or urgent stance from the EU would have allowed this to go through. I can almost assure everybody that the pushback from a plan like this would have been significant. Perhaps Isreal was banking on more people from Gaza actually leaving to go elsewhere when they started the campaign. Short of stopping, slowing down significantly or killing almost everybody, they don't have much of a plan for how to deal with the injured, killed or starving.
The EU has taken so many refugee's from war torn countries, Syria, Ukraine and more, the general population has pretty much had it with that.
