Wouldn't surprise me, only question is why would Egypt want this? Aren't they dealing with overpopulation with the government basically only being held up by Saudi funding? How habitable is Sinai, I doubt Egypt would want millions of their people to starve or dehydrate to death in the desert?

Apparently, the plan is to give the Palestinians the Sinai peninsula and their own semi-autonomous state. The Sinai is sparsely populated and only marginally habitable. But even so, no country relinquishs its land freely. Israel must be offering some heavy compensation to Egypt to make this deal happen, if that is in fact the plan. Maybe they'll get the Americans to foot the bill for resettling the Palestinians?
