Oh, I see. I find it very unlikely. Such actions would border on casus beli, and it just doesn’t seem important enough to risk an actual war with Israel. The US sent ~$80B over the years, which is a bit less than $2B a year, which is 2% of Egypt’s government budget.
The peace with Israel is mainly based on mutual deterrence since the 1973 war, military aid from Israel and more. The US is not a major actor within it.
I would expect very public, very ulikely to escalate actions in order to increase US aid. Not something like this.
The entity that I’m talking about is the Egyptian military and not the Egyptian government.
It’s worth noting here that the Egyptian military is a bit different than a lot of other militaries and does things like olive oil production.

Directly funding Hamas would be a casus beli. On the other hand, there are actions like saying “because you cut the funding we unfortunately can’t afford border patrol at that point where there might be weapons going into Gaza, it’s too bad that we are stripped of cash...”

We are in agreement, then
