What is your opinion on the Egyptian offer of a Plaestinian State in Sinai?
Sisi Offered Abbas: Create Palestinian State in Sinai
Palestinian Authority chief rejected offer by Egypt to create a state 5 times the size of Gaza, give up 1967 borders.
Egyptian president General Abdel Fatah A-Sisi has offered Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas to cede 160 square kilometers of the Sinai Peninsula adjoining Gaza to the PA, thus creating a Palestinian state five times the present size of Gaza. In return, the PA would stop demanding that Israel return to the 1967 borders.
The offer was revealed on IDF Radio.
A-Sisi reportedly suggested that Palestinian "refugees" be allowed to settle in the new, much enlarged Gaza, which would be demilitarized.
The Palestinian cities in Judea and Samaria would enjoy autonomy and be fully run by the PA, according to the plan, which would leave the PA with even more territory than it would have if Israel ceded all of Judea and Samaria.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was aware of the offer and the United States gave a green light, according to the military radio station's sources.

If this is a legitimate deal and the Palestinians don't want it....I'll take it. Then I can establish a homeland for the Hamsterferian people. Keep me informed!

Egyptian President Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has reportedly proposed to Palestinian Authority (PA) head Mahmoud Abbas to extend the Gaza Strip into the Sinai area and establish a Palestinian state, while obtaining autonomy in Judea and Samaria.
According to the plan, Egypt would provide a 1,600-square-kilometer area in the Sinai Peninsula near the Gaza Strip, making the Strip five times its size, where a Palestinian state would be established under full control of the PA. The Palestinian refugees would go to that state, which would be demilitarized.

I would have to know the catch before making a comment or cheering. Israel would not give a gift of the Sinai without conditions, one of which is no weapons. If that is to be a free Palestine, how will they defend themselves against Israeli tyranny?
Why do people suggest the Palestinians should be in the West Bank when Israel is taking over that land. The Sinai desert has no infrastructure and would Israel prevent supplies from being transported? Would Israel prevent a seaport and an airport?
Israel wants to stick Palestinians into the Sinai desert to wander for 40 days and 40 nights. Is that sweet revenge?

Even if it was true, it'd be rejected.
Try to remember who the Palestinians actually are: A phony nationality invented by Jordan to steal back land Jordan invaded & occupied in 1948 and Israel liberated in 1967.
They're not - and never were - what their propaganda claims and gullible people wrongly believe.
The truth is the opposite of everything they're pretending:
"The Palestinian people does not exist. For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we claim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."
-Zahir Muhsein, member of the Palestine Liberation Organization Executive Committee, 1977
"The Palestinians and Jordanians do not belong to different nationalities. They hold the same Jordanian passports, and have the same Jordanian culture."
-Jordanian Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Sharif, 1980
"Jordanians and Palestinians are considered by the PLO as one people."
-Farouk Kaddoumi, Head of the Palestine Liberation Organization's Political Department, 1977
"Palestine is Jordan and Jordan is Palestine; there is only one land, with one history and one and the same fate."
-Prince Hassan of Jordan, 1970
“We are the government of Palestine, the army of Palestine and the refugees of Palestine.”
-Jordanian Prime Minister Hazza’ al-Majali,1959
"Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people'."
-Zahir Muhsein, Palestine Liberation Organization Executive Committee member, 1977
“Why is it that on June 4th 1967 I was a Jordanian and overnight I became a Palestinian? They removed the star from the Jordanian flag and all at once we had a Palestinian flag. When I finally realized the lies and myths I was taught, it is my duty as a righteous person to speak out."
-Walid Shoebat, former Palestine Liberation Organization member.
"We considered ourselves Jordanian until the Jews returned to Jerusalem. Then all of the sudden we were Palestinians - they removed the star from the Jordanian flag and all at once we had a Palestinian flag."
-Walid Shoebat
That's the incontrovertible truth no matter what any poorly-educated people prefer to pretend.
If it's not what they were raised to believe or want to believe, that's too just too damn bed.
It's nobody's fault but their own they irresponsibly failed to fact check before forming their opinions and beliefs.
The word 'Palestine' comes from the Roman Empire's name for Judah & Samaria, parts of ancient Israel.
The Romans called them 'Syria-Palaestina', which over thousands of years was shortened to 'Palestine'.
"Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel extended over 1400 years. It was the Jews who implanted the culture and customs of the permanent settlement".
-Arab scholar Ibn Khaldun, writing 637 years ago in 1377.
It's also no coincidence that "Palestinian" leaders all just happen to be Jordanians:
-Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei, Fatah leader Muhammad Dahlan and Hamas leader Khaled Meshal are all Jordanian citizens.
So there's no way in hell Jordan's puppets and their brainwashed pawns are going to trade Sinai or anywhere else for what the modern world calls Palestine.
Jordan annexed that land in 1950, considers it theirs, and still wants it back.
Otherwise, they'd have recalled "Palestinians" home to Jordan and put an end to their proxy war.

That's a wrong news and the president Abdelfatah Al-sisi already denied offering Abss that offer !
The Muslims brotherhood are the people who Promote such rumors , i think Israeli Websites should look for new good trustful sources to get it's news from him .
Update : i think you also need to re-open the link you mentioned above ( in the Question details ) and scroll down ( look at the new Photo i attached ) .

Outright lie.
Plus it ignores that Israel's neighbors have already offered territory to create a Palestinian State.
A.k.a. Gaza, Jerusalem, and the West Bank, none of which are legally Israel's
So any Sinai state would just be more territory Israel would demand to annex.
Israel is a thief and is practicing ethnic cleansing.

There is a lot of oil in the Sinai unless the Egypt and Israel haven't already pumped the last drop out. Moses took his people to the Sinai Pensinula saying Let my People go. Sounds like a win win deal to me.

this is great news but no Palestine never existed they don't want the land they want to kill the Jews they just hate them. they don't like the Jews to live near by. Jordan made the name Palestine they are originally Jordanians. there was no such thing as Palestine . also compare the Palestinian flag to the Jordan flag and they are same just the star was removed by the Palestinians.

Sensible Palestinians will take the deal. Unfortunately Hamas is not sensible and will reject the deal, murder any dissidents, main a few hundred political waverers and it will be business as usual again.
