It’s likely Egypt is very concerned about an influx of Gazans under Trump’s plan which it adamantly doesn’t want, neither does Jordan.

Egypt has apparently released the initial details of a proposal Cairo has put together to rebuild the Gaza Strip within three to five years, though there’s no mention of a plan to work with the Trump administration or Israel.
According to a reporter for i24 News, Egyptian sources told Qatari Al Araby TV the plan is a move to counter the proposal first put forward by President Donald Trump last week suggesting the U.S. would “take over” Gaza and forcibly displace all Palestinians living there.
The Egyptian proposal for reconstruction will reportedly be carried out in cooperation among Arab countries, the European Union and the United Nations.
Sources within the European Union confirmed that while they were aware a plan would be released later this month at a summit with fellow Arab nations, they were not aware of the EU’s or the U.N.’s involvement in the reconstruction plans.
More details of the proposal will reportedly lay out a two-phase project that will first focus on rubble removal and residential building construction.
Details of the plan were reported less than 24 hours after the Egyptian foreign ministry released a statement saying it has “aspirations” to “cooperate” with President Donald Trump and the U.S., but that it also condemned Trump’s proposal to take over the Gaza Strip.
In addition, the ministry said the only way to achieve regional peace was to address the “root cause of conflict” by ending “Israel’s occupation” and implementing a two-state solution, a proposal that would look vastly different from what Trump has said he plans to do.
