How about a Palestinian State in Sinai Peninsula ..?

Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi has offered Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas the chance to create a Palestinian state in the Sinai Peninsula.

The offer would have seen 1,600 square kilometres of the Sinai Peninsula given to the Palestinian Authority, creating a Palestinian state five times the size of Gaza.

As part of the proposal, Palestinian cities in the occupied West Bank would have been autonomous and continued to be under Palestinian Authority control.

Sisi allegedly said to Abbas in the meeting: "You are now 80 years old, if you don't accept this proposal, your successor will."

    because. they can't take land away from israel. If he was to accept this offer he would not be able to demonize israel because the media would turn against him if he did.

    As well as this the land in Judea and Samaria is rich and fertile. The "palestinian state" is just an excuse to steal land from israel

    This is a fake offer.

    Israel's neighbors have already ceded land to found a Palestinian State.

    It is called the West Bank and Gaza.

    Them ceding more land to found such a state doesn't magically make it OK for Israel to claim parts of the West Bank in direct violation of international law.

    Ethnic cleansing is still ethnic cleansing.

    The more Israel refuses to honor the idea of a two state solution, the more they ensure the final solution will be a one state solution.

    End apartheid now.
