Is is because they don’t negotiate with terrorists?

Don't be surprised if it's back on by the time Biden is done meeting with Netanyahu. Jordan and Egypt are wasting a great opportunity.

What opportunity are Jordan and Egypt wasting?

The oppurtunity to pressure Biden and thus pressure Netanyahu into limiting or ending the war.

As it stands now, Biden will talk to the Israelis, then go home.
