I am always curious, why does Egypt not want to help Palestinian refugees? Or even allow then to travel through?

Good question. The official position is that they would not be able to go back to gaza once the war ended. And therefore they would be helping israel in displacing the palestinian people of their lands.

Plus, i suspect no one really wants 2M "permanent" refugees. On election season no less.

Because the guy who runs Egypt is a dictator. Guess who appointed him?
