I don't know if this question was raised at all during Camp-David agreements with Egypt. Playing with IF theory: Egypt was motivated enough to make that agreement and get to the US tit, Israel should have insisted that Gaza population would relocate to Sinai settlements (Sharon himself was clearing Jews out of there and destroying the homes), vacate the Gaza and become Egypt citizens. Population exchange with big land win for Arabs (Sinai). Too bad it did not happen.

Hey. I don't have the answers I'm just asking questions.
The underlying problem is on one side you have people who want peace and are willing to bite the bullet to get it, and on the other you don't. And until one side decides that murder and terrorism and not the answer there won't be peace. And it's going require one side to completly overthrow their political leadership in order for this to happen.

Gaza was discussed during Camp David. Under Arab pressure to not make a separate peace, Sadat kept trying to group Palestinian agreements into the deal. Begin would have none of it. Most focus was on the West Bank, but Gaza was also mentioned. In the end, Carter presumed (correctly) that Sadat cared little for the Palestinians, the rest is history.
