Egypt and Hamas have a rather adversarial relationship, But let's not pretend Israel and Egypt are anywhere near equivalent.

And Israel controls much of the comings and goings of the Rafah crossing, if that's what you're referring to. Egypt doesn't want any trouble with Israel, doesn't really like Hamas, and is also not really looking forward to a mass exodus of impoverished Palestinians as it's already a poor and extremely densely populated country with its own problems.

Could Egypt do better? I suppose. But it's nowhere near equivalent. Egypt is in a near-impossible position.
