I read elsewhere that they could leave through the blockade but not return, but upon further reading that appears to be inaccurate. Thanks for the correction, I will update my comment.
The 300 people Egypt lets cross a day?
That’s odd considering 800 Gazans left through the Rafah gate on Oct 11. I didn’t realize it was normally subject to quotas, but it makes sense. I imagine Egypt is trying to prevent another situation like in 2008 when Palestinians forced the gate open with explosives and flooded into Egypt. Taking on too many Palestinian refugees didn’t work out great for Jordan or Lebanon and caused civil wars and terrorism problems for them. I suspect Egypt wants to avoid the same fate. They are disinterested in negotiating for Gaza to be returned to them presumably for this reason, millions of radicalized people coming into your country who literally elected a terrorist organization that won’t negotiate to represent them doesn’t sound like a great recipe for stability.
In 2021, pro-Hamas outlet Al Mayadeen reported that the organization had refused offers for complete lifting of the blockade in return for a long-term truce following the 2021 Israel–Palestine crisis. source
I provided a lot of citations supporting my claims and I admitted when I was wrong.
Enlighten us then. It would be a better use of your time than glib insults, which are not compelling at all.

Still, thousands have left through the Rafah gate, despite Hamas refusing any sort of diplomacy that would give their people more freedom of movement. In fact Hamas has praised Egypt for keeping the border closed. They seem more concerned with revenge and territorial rights than the lives of their constituents, which is what ultimately brought us to here.
Then there’s always the smuggling tunnels that go across the border, but it’s hard to know how many remain and who has access to them.
Grow up. May you one day learn to have an adult conversation with those who disagree with you without resorting to name-calling.
Imagine learning you don’t know what you’re talking about definitively and still spouting this much idiot bullshit so fucking confidently

I don’t really have any interest in talking to you. I find you stupid, genocidal and recalcitrant. Go fuck yourself :)
And yet you keep replying. Piss off then.
