      Beyond the ethnic cleansing issues everyone already presented:

      • How are you calculating the ‘value of the land’?
      • Who deternimes the value and where the new borders are to be drawn?
      • Do family estates get prorated for sentimental and historical value?
      • What is the conversion rate of coastline and maritime claims to arable land?
      • Does Israel get to keep the value of settlements that it already holds either “legally” (per Israeli law) or illegally?
      • Why would Israeli settlers in illegal settlements vacate, and (perhaps more to the point) why would the Israeli state stop backing them when they decided not to leave?
      • Why would Egypt give up control of an excellent defensive border region to a hostile neighbor for a noncontiguous state that would likely be re-occupied by said state before the treaty ink is dry?

          The first problem is that it’s ethnic cleansing. The second is that Israel would never agree to give up any of the West Bank, the third is that Egypt would not agree to take the Palestinians(they’ve been asked before, including by Biden.)

              Israel would give up the West Bank for much more land in the Sinai.

              No they wouldn’t

              Israel would have the potential to become a much more populous and powerful country.

              They already have ten percent of their population in West Bank. They’re not giving it up.

              Egypt would not be taking in Palestinians. Egypt would simply own the land they are in.

              That’s Egypt taking Palestinians.

              Egypt could give them the land.

              Yeah, but they won’t. And Israel wouldn’t recognize it anyway

              And it’s all still ethnic cleansing.
