#1 I wonder if el Sisi will be interested in selling Sinai back to Israel?

#2 Maybe g(r)om, but he'd have to have the carpets cleaned, re-paint and fix the leaky roof.

"As Is" sales are generally harder to close.

#3 Geography is the terrorists worst enemy. By destroying homes and building a moat the Egypt army is now quarantining the bordertown Rafa from Gaza. The coastal road from Rafa to the Suez Canal can be easily patrolled. So too can the old Bir Gifgafa road, and the road through central Sinai that passes through El Tor. With Rafa isolated the Egypt military has begun a ruthless campaign to rid the city of terrorists. And there is one thing all Egyptians know, the Egyptian military can be ruthless. The recent attacks in Sinai are pinpricks, widespread attacks that cannot be replicated on a daily basis.

#4 Of course, they could get sensible and simply bulldoze Rafah and Al Arish into the Med and be done with it once and for all. Bedouins are harder to control, but that's what napalm is for.

#5 Egypt will isolate the problem.
Israel does not want Sinai, they want stability.
obama is useless.
