These articles are from over a year ago and they all say that Israel took control of the Rafah border.

"On May 7, Israeli forces seized the main border crossing at Rafah, closing a vital route for aid into the besieged enclave."

Understandably, the Egyptian government does not want to coordinate with the Israeli government after seeing how the Israeli-organized aid sites have been going.

It is both.

That being said Egypt being complicit doesn't make any of this better.

Are you implying that aid would otherwise be allowed by israel via Rafah?

Why did Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Europe, Canada etc. take Syrians during the war in Syria but Egypt (and everyone else) refuses to allow civilian Gazans to escape to safety?

My country hosted the PLO in the 80s and was almost outcast by the rest of the Arab world.

Harboring them was seen by some people as an indirect support to Israeli efforts to push Palestinians out and take over their land.

To this day, any talk about allowing Palestinians to move en masse out of their territory, even as refugees, is at best a very controversial move.

Spitballing here, but it might be continued unease about Arafat. He weaponised the Palestinian population in Lebanon [1] and Jordan [2] in ways that would make it politically untenable for them to accept Palestinian refugees.

Escape to safety? Do you mean, have their land stolen?

It's funny how when Israel stops aid it's a genocide and when Egypt does it it's Israels fault or.. you know.. somehow the jews...

Distinguish between Israelis and Jews. Otherwise you will tarnish both. And Jews in the US are not as supportive of the genocide as Israelis are.

Reread my comment. I was being sarcastic against anti-semites.
