Why does Egypt refuse to take Palestinians? What do they know that we don't?

Even if we ignore the terrorist government aspect of Hamas/Gaza, no country can afford to take 2% of their population worth of refugees at once.

Egypt is also already in an economic crisis. Their credit score has been downgraded twice this year alone. March '22 to March '23 the value of their currency depreciated by 50% against the dollar. In January of this year, inflation was 25.8%.

I think this is the biggest reason. Egypt also considers Hamas a terrorist organizaiton. Nobody wants to open their borders to a terrorist organization.

Even if money weren't already a huge issue for Egypt struggling to make sure their own people can eat.
