The ceasefire will probably be temporary. This is the permanent solution. Israel will hand over the West Bank and land equivalent to the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians. In return, Israel will get the Gaza Strip and at least 3 times the land area given to the Palestinians in the Sinai Peninsula. Part of the land must be adjacent to water so Israel can build desalination plants. What's in it for Egypt? Credit for ending the war and peace on its eastern border. Much of the land in the Sinai is inhospitable. Egypt doesn't have the technology to develop it but Israel does.

Wrong. There will be warfare until the Antichrist comes. Israel has a right to the land, from the sea right through the kingdom of Jordan. They should give up nothing.

If your religion is correct, that would be the correct course. But if it's not, the result would be perpetual war and death. My plan is a way towards peace.

Did you ask any Israelis about your plan? I think you have it backwards. The west bank is the "Samaria and Judea" region which the Israelis definitely wish to annex. Gaza, on the other hand, was already annexed by Israel and they hated it. Israel had a really bad time as owners of Gaza and so traded it away in the Oslo Accords

Your plan relies on the Israeli voters being willing to trade Samaria and Judea for the Sinai. I don't think they'll want to do that.

Israelis who are very religious may want to keep the West Bank. Those who are not very religious might realize the value of having a large piece of the Sinai. Israeli scientists should discuss whether the Sinai can be developed especially whether desalination is feasible. Remember that the Sinai does have Biblical significance since the Israelites wandered through it before reaching Canaan.
