Why did Jesus tell the Apostles to "go not the way of the Gentiles and Samaritans?"

To whom were they to witness? What was their purpose in doing so? What was their message for the Jews?

Matthew 10:5

NASB - ⁵ These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: "Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans.
