Egypt sees Hamas as part of the Muslim Brotherhood which they see as their venomous enemy, they see Hamas playing a significant role in the hardship Egypt is enduring from the Sinai and they know that Hamas enables people from these organizations to find refuge in Gaza. They see Hamas as somebody who needs to be removed from power.

I think that while the ISIS menace cannot be ignored, what is more important is not to inflate it, israeli authorities have an interest in this regard, as no one wants to see Melhem copycats - not least because he managed to kill three people and get away, in what made them look like a bit of a circus.

I don’t think [ISIS or its affiliates] are a threat that Hamas cannot handle, hamas is brutal enough and determined enough to meet that challenge.
