I still love the idea - as long as Egypt was in charge of the Northern Sinai/Gaza “Palestine” for security.

Make it a new free trade zone, and try to capitalize on all the international appeal for helping Palestinians, into actual investments and subsidies. Give them Egyptian citizenship, and let Dubai Ports World run the economy.

Let them take Ghaza along with them.

The real problem for Egypt in the Sinai is that the area is infested with jihadis who are being aided by the local tribes. The jihadis attack and then flee back into the mountains where the Egyptian mil has limited access and ability. The other problem is the Egyptian mil quits at sundown to take up the fight again after dawn, leaving the jihadis free to do whatever they please in the meantime.

Any Palestinian state in the Sinai area, from an Islamist point of view, is redundant since they already control it.
