Egypt is categorically not closing their border to Palestinians out of fear of an Israeli invasion.


Egypt currently definitely is, other than in very individual cases.

From Google: ================= Egypt, however, has warned against an influx of refugees. It facilitates humanitarian aid into Gaza, but has said a mass exodus of Palestinians out of Gaza into Egypt is a red line, saying it fears Israel might never let the Palestinians go back. =====================

And Egypts real fear is that the Palestinians in Egypt will try to take back Palestine. Which wouldn't be very good for Egypt and engage them in a war with Israel.


Your own quote directly contradicts your assertion.


Apologies, which part of the quote is a contradiction? I'm not seeing it.
