IMO, the Egyptian state's interests, as any local corrupt power run by a national bourgeoisie and military state apparatus, are determined by their perceived geopolitical interests. Given how developments in Palestine can catalyze domestic politics, and given that Egypt does not want to have to deal with millions of refugees, it's not a given that they are going to get in the way of Israel bombing the crossings and blocking entry and exit of Gaza in general.
