Why would Egypt be upset about the news of Tyre’s downfall?

Ésaïe 23:5 (NEG79)

5 Quand les Egyptiens sauront la nouvelle, Ils trembleront en apprenant la chute de Tyr.

Even Egypt would be distressed about the downfall of Tyre. Egypt depended on Tyre, as there were good trade relations between Egypt and Phoenicia. Furthermore, Tyre’s destruction would bring Egypt closer in line to feel the effects of the expanding power of Assyria.
