    Israel could accept my proposal because it would be given a large piece of the Sinai. It could develop the land and become a more populous country. Egypt would have peace at its border and avoid Palestinian refugees displaced by Israel. Palestinians would have a homeland although controlled by Egypt. Palestinians survive now, why would they be an economic burden to Egypt? Israel won’t agree to an independent Palestinian state and who will make it change its mind?

      Israel will not accept your dumb proposal because they want to take everything by force. Why would they accept to return the west bank in exchange of sinai when they believe they can keep the west bank and still take the sinai?

        They’re not going to take the Sinai. Had they wanted to, they would have done it. Israel has the most powerful military in the Middle East.

          They will. Right now they didn’t end the full extermination of Gazan and the west bank. Egypt is still useful for them to act like jail guard for gazan. Because the peace deal between iarael and egypt, israel ca close the rafah border at will.
