Reasonable answer: Because they need to ensure that everyone has a place to go and won't cause an international incident when the border (so Egypt) devices that they don't have a valid passport or are going to become a homeless person or whatever. Also make sure there aren't any known terrorists sneaking out.
Real answer: So that the IDF can murder more of them
I doubt the real answer is to murder foreigners, someone is benefiting from a slow releases of foreigners.... not sure who gets the most negotiation leverage here.
Israel has been the biggest hurdle to getting anyone out or anything in and I wouldn't be surprised if they are the reason.
Why would Egypt want the IDF to murder more civilians?
Partially because Egypt and Israel have increasingly become something approximating allies. So same logic as the US
But also? The majority of "arab" nations dislike Palestine on the best of days. So the usual bigotry against any immigrants amped up a few notches. Think Mexicans in the US or the Polish in the EU (and a big driving factor for brexit in the UK).
But there is also the active fear of Hamas led Palestinians becoming terror cells or trying to stage a coup. Egypt in particular has been fighting for years against, allegedly Hamas led, Islamic terrorists for years in the Sinai.
Similar to the (allegedly?) Iranian backed terror groups in Yemen.
So yeah. There will obviously be some light condemnation. But nobody is going to do anything about the IDF killing Palestinians. Because Israel becoming even more of a pariah an the inevitable long term destabilization from pocket groups for decades to come is the real goal of this. Having fewer Palestinian refugees is just a "bonus".
Because everything is the jews' fault, apparently.
The IDF are the ones with the missiles, the rockets, the guns, the bombs, the tanks, the walls, the barbed wire and the funding taken from US tax payers. If the fascist terrorist state of Israel doesn't like the world's reaction, maybe it should change its behavior.
That is some fine brainless gibberish that still does not explain why Egypt would want the IDF to kill civilians.
Please refrain from calling israeli terrorists "Jews" that's extremely anti-semitic and disrespectful to actual Jews.
