I mean, they have no right to have a say in Palestinian politics.

You are right of course, but where has anyone else gotten with this situation?

of course they have a right. Egypt and Jordan share borders with the nuclear power that the Palestines beard continually.

Jordan doesn't even have a right to exist. As for Egypt ... Sadat and Mubarak mishandled the conflict to the point where they need a good ousting.
