Israel is a prosperous country. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Israel

The economy of Israel is a highly developed free-market economy.[23][4][24][25][26] The prosperity of Israel's advanced economy allows the country to have a sophisticated welfare state, a powerful modern military said to possess a nuclear-weapons capability with a full nuclear triad, modern infrastructure equivalent to developed countries, and a high-technology sector competitively on par with Silicon Valley.[23] It has the second-largest number of startup companies in the world after the United States,[27][needs update] and the third-largest number of NASDAQ-listed companies after the U.S. and China.[28] American companies, such as Intel,[29] Microsoft,[30] and Apple,[31][32] built their first overseas research and development facilities in Israel. More than 400 high-tech multi-national corporations, such as IBM, Google, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco Systems, Facebook and Motorola have opened R&D centers throughout the country.[33] As of 2025, the IMF estimated Israel has the 25th largest economy in the world by nominal GDP, and one of the biggest economies in the Middle East.[1]

Egypt is not being split in two. It is being given the West Bank enlarged by land equivalent to the Gaza Strip in exchange for Israel getting a large chunk of land in the Sinai and the Gaza Strip. The continental US is separated from Alaska. The UK is composed of Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England.

The US will not boycott Israel. Consequently, your idea is similar to Aesop's Fables, The Mice in Council. See https://aesopsfables.org/F184_The-Mice-in-Council.html

The age difference is 3.5 years. In the debate, Trump was much sharper.

Don't you remember illegal migrants sleeping on the sidewalks of El Paso and Greg Abbott busing illegal migrants to blue cities? The mayors of these blue cities then pleaded for Biden to provide aid, but he did nothing.

That's what right wing Israelis might want, but under my proposal Israel will only get the Gaza Strip and a large chunk of land in the Sinai. Israel would have to give to Egypt the West Bank and land equivalent to the Gaza Strip. Right wing Israelis want land that Yahweh supposedly gave them, but not all Israelis are very religious.

No, under my proposal Egypt would own the territory occupied by Palestinians.

Trump is pleasing his MAGA base by attacking Iran. He wants Iran's oil just as he wants Venezuela's oil. The problem is that Iran is more powerful and much closer to Russia than Venezuela. Consequently, Russia is able to help Iran.

Incorrect. Merz adopted a stricter stance on immigration but not as harsh as the AfD party. Likewise, a centrist Democrat could be tough on border security but give migrants already here a path to citizenship. Inequality can never be completely eliminated because people aren't equal in talent.

Under my proposal that will be up to Egypt. I think Egypt will prefer to make Palestine a state within Egypt.

Israel will accept my proposal because it will get a huge chunk of land in the Sinai. More land equates to a larger population and consequently, a more powerful country.

In the proposal, Israel would have to allow Egypt access by land to the West Bank. Alternately, Egypt could be given a land corridor through Israel. This land would count as part of the land given Egypt in exchange for Israel being given the Gaza Strip.

Most people do not have extreme left or right views. In Germany, Merz with his centrist views beat the rising far right AfD party.
