#2 Move them into Sinai, lots of space there and its further from Israel. Then Egypt can take care of them.

#3 Gaza used to be part of Egypt. I suppose Israel would have given it back if they thought it would help.
IMO, Sisi has demonstrated a diplomatic priority regarding to reducing violence in the Gaza Strip. There are too many competing interests in Gaza for peace as we know it to occur anytime soon.

#4 I suppose Israel would have given it back if they thought it would help.

As I recall, Israel tried to give Gaza back int he Land For Peace negotiations, but Egypt did not want it. The old Philistine city of Gaza has been troublesome since the Roman empire, I understand.
