Egypt–Palestine relations are the bilateral relations between the Arab Republic of Egypt and the State of Palestine. Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser was a strong supporter of the Palestinian cause and he favored self-determination for the Palestinians. Although the Egyptian government has maintained a good relationship with Israel since the Camp David Accords, most Egyptians strongly resent Israel, and disapprove of the close relationship between the Israeli and Egyptian governments. Historical relations Pre-20th Century The Hyksos, an ancient Levantine group, invaded Ancient Egypt and established their own dynasty in Egypt. Egypt would later expel the Hyksos and rule over Palestine during the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. Egypt and Palestine would then be ruled by foreign kingdoms until Muhammad Ali Pasha's war against the Ottoman Empire. After the war, Egypt would rule over the Levant, including Palestine, but high taxes and conscription would lead to a revolt against Egyptian rule.

While the West Bank was annexed by Jordan, Egypt instead created the All-Palestine Protectorate in Gaza, which claimed authority over all of Palestine and was ruled by the All-Palestine Government. Egyptian authorities would keep close political control over Gaza. After the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, many Palestinians saw Nasser as the only real person who could defeat the Israelis and many of them had sympathized with him and supported him. Egypt would continue to support the Palestinians, and during the Suez Crisis, Israel invaded Gaza and the Sinai. Israel's invasion would lead to the Khan Yunis massacre, where the Israeli Defense Forces shot two hundred Palestinians in Khan Yunis and Rafah, both located in Gaza. In 1959, the Gaza
