Egypt is primarily pro-Israel, anti-Hamas, believe it or not.

Totally off.

The most popular political party in Egypt is the Muslim Brotherhood, which is very closely aligned with Hamas. The unpopular ruling party, led by President Mubarack, sees the Brotherhood as its main threat. So it strongly opposes Hamas (which is very different from being "pro-Israel"). But the vast majority of Egyptians are supportive of Hamas, their government's position to the contrary notwithstanding.
