Not necessarily, economic warfare is brutal and attrition is not feasible for the entity. It might just be that a slow burn attritional war that breaks the entity from within. No one wants that nuclear settler project (or the other nuclear settler project that backs the former) to actually use their WMD. So external destruction of the entity (which is what I assume you believe Egypt might contribute towards) isn't necessary to dismantle the project.
You can kinda see this with Ukraine and NATO. NATO and Ukraine want to escalate, but Ukraine wants permission to escalate past Russia's red lines. So obviously this isn't in NATO's interests, which is why Ukraine keeps asking for fancy weapons and permission to do deep strikes into Russia but will never receive either. No one wants nuke war with Russia and Russia doesn't want that either, hence attrition and the hope that the other side will break.
