Yeah.
Not so much; but they don't normally like one another and Israel and Egypt have a 'normalization' between them.
No, they're gonna slaughter people in Gaza and Hamas are going to keep up their threat and kill those kidnapped.
Tunnels; it's a rumour that Hamas have tunnels all over the place and the weapons were smuggled in via Iran. Likely over a long period of time, so easily done.
Would you automatically leave your home if, say, Canada was idiotic enough to attack somewhere out of the blue?
"The Egypt–Gaza border is the 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) long border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt. There is a buffer zone along the border which is about 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) long.
The Rafah Border Crossing is the only crossing point between Egypt and the Gaza Strip. It is located on the international border that was confirmed in the 1979 Egypt–Israel peace treaty. Only passage of persons takes place through the Rafah Border Crossing; as such, the Egypt-Gaza border is only open to the passage of people, not of goods. All cargo traffic must go through Israel, usually through the Israeli-controlled Kerem Shalom border crossing on the Gaza–Israel barrier."
That's true.
And break treaty with Israel?
Plus Hamas.
Egypt is trying to broker a ceasefire or something, but:
Escalation between Hamas and Israel tests Egypt’s mediation efforts
Negotiations are focused on stopping the spiral of violence and releasing the hostages held in Gaza, but the magnitude of the current crisis makes any progress difficult
"Asserting its political and security ties with Israel and the Palestinian militia Hamas, Egypt has stepped up its diplomatic activity in recent days in an attempt to stop the spiral of violence unleashed on Saturday in Gaza and its surroundings and to prevent the situation from deteriorating further. For the moment, however, Cairo’s efforts, which are taking place alongside those of other countries in the region with some influence over the parties, such as Qatar, are being frustrated by the magnitude of the crisis and by the refusal of Israeli authorities to openly enter into negotiations."
"Although the cyclical escalations of violence in Gaza allow the Egyptian authorities in particular to claim their relevance in the region, the seriousness of the current situation, especially after the Israeli announcement this Monday that it will impose “a complete siege” on the Gaza Strip, places Cairo in a difficult position due to broad social support for the Palestinian cause. Egypt is the only other country, besides Israel, that borders Gaza, which now places it in the position of having to decide between relaxing its restrictions at the border crossing with the Strip or maintaining the strict controls it has been imposing on crossings for the last 10 years.
On Sunday, the Egyptian Red Crescent reported that they had delivered a first package of emergency medical aid to the organization’s Gaza branch, and the Egyptian Ministry of Health has sent ambulances to the enclave, according to a local group in northern Sinai, but aid remains scarce. In addition, an Israeli airstrike hit the Rafah border crossing on Monday afternoon, forcing it to close even for humanitarian cases, according to the independent Egyptian media Mada Masr.
Over the past two years, Egypt has been able to intervene with some success to stop several escalations between Israel and Palestinian groups active in Gaza, including in mid-2021, when Cairo managed to forge a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas after 11 days of Israeli airstrikes on the strip and Hamas rockets aimed at Israel. Last May, Cairo also brokered a truce between Israel and the Palestinian group Islamic Jihad after 10 days of fighting that broke out following the death of a well-known Palestinian activist in an Israeli jail. Then, however, Egyptian mediators were upset by Israel’s actions, including targeted assassinations, according to local media.
The escalation between Hamas and Israel has once again put the spotlight on the reaction of Arab countries that in recent years have normalized relations with Israel under the mediation of the United States, such as the United Arab Emirates. All eyes are also on countries trying to take the step, like Saudi Arabia. Riyadh said on Saturday that the situation in the region will remain explosive as long as there is a “continued occupation, the deprivation of the Palestinian people’s legitimate rights and the repetition of systematic provocations against their holy places,” while at the same time Abu Dhabi was “dismayed” by the Hamas attacks, which it considered a “dangerous and serious escalation.”"
