For decades, Hamas was not popular in Egypt. It was seen, rightly, as the local branch, in “Palestine,” of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Erdogan to visit Egypt to reboot ties and take ‘steps to end’ Gaza war
The talks between Erdogan and El-Sisi “are expected to focus on aid shipments for Palestinians in Gaza and steps that could be taken to end the war.” Yet neither country is taking in Palestinian refugees.

Egyptian film depicting alliance between grandsons of Grand Mufti and Hitler to ‘liberate Palestine’ won Jury Prize
Muslim countries are notorious for banning anything that undermines their Islamic principles, which govern all manner of policies. Islamic supremacists are also infamous for attempting to cast fear (cf. Qur’an 8:12 and 8:60) into disbelievers, and especially into those who offend their sensibilities.

He thinks it must be left up to the parties to figure out what kind of modus vivendi will be possible. “Egyptian analyst sanity on Lebanese TV: ‘Hamas […]
An Egyptian Highlights What Most Palestinians, and Other Arabs, Refuse to Recognize
While there are Lebanese who resent Hezbollah’s takeover of the state, which it now controls “politically, economically, and [in] everything else,” they are helpless to oppose Hassan Nasrallah and his goose-stepping bezonians who far outnumber the soldiers of the Lebanese army, and have 150,000 missiles and rockets, received from Iran, stockpiled for future use against […]
