Something like this could escalate the conflict quite a bit if cooler heads don't prevail. The migrant/refugee dilemma would be catastrophic if Egypt got pulled into the wider conflict.
Egypt is in the USA's pocket. Egypt gets about 1.5 billion a year in "aid" from the USA. They won't risk that by cooperating with the USA's regional competitor. Any cooperation will be just for show.
