The Prophet ﷺ wanted to expel the Jews and Christians, who claim to be the People of the Book, from the Arabian Peninsula. Non-Muslims are only allowed to live in the Arabian Peninsula temporarily as a traveler or for some other important needs of the Society as determined by the leaders. (See for details Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi v. 2. p. 498.)
