Israel proposes land swap with Egypt to enlarge Gaza
You can't just make this stuff up ...

JERUSALEM: A senior Israeli military official has drawn
up a Middle East peace plan proposing to increase the size
of the Gaza Strip threefold through an Israeli-Egyptian land
swap, an official source said.

National Security Council chief Major General Giora
Eiland's plan calls on Egypt to give 600 square kilometers in
the Sinai Peninsula to Palestinians.

In return, Israel would hand over 200 square kilometers of
land in the southern Negev desert to Egypt, including a
tunnel linking it to Jordan.

"This is only one of the options being considered by the
National Security Council as part of a solution to the
conflict with the Palestinians," an Israeli official told AFP.
