I think the issue from the Egyptian President Mubarak's standpoint is he doesn't want too much to do with Hamas and Palestine. Mubarak and his parliamentary party are elected but the elections are "managed" much like Russian elections are. The main electoral opposition to him is the Muslim Brotherhood, which are friends with Hamas and openly supported the gate-crashing. It's a case of "don't help the friend of an enemy".
