My account got permanent limited because i chose egypt and it insisted to pick one of the American states even though i put my address in Egypt so i chose New York and when it asked me for My ID it wasn't matching so i got banned and every account i made get banned instantly and iam not sure if this is the right reason bc every time i talk to the support this bot says they are offline i don't know how to reach them

No the reason is because you have opened a U.S paypal account and not a paypal account issued in your own country of Egypt.

User AdhamElrefaay: United States Business Account

 

That account is useless to you, you need to close it (if you can) then open an Egyptian account.

When you click to register U.S is the top default option as paypal is a U.S company so you click on the drop down box and scroll down to open one in Egypt.

You can't change a paypal account from one country to another.

If you keep opening U.S paypal accounts then of course you are going to be banned.
