Surprised to read the other day Gaza was offered up to Egypt during the Camp David Accords and Anwar Sadat said no thanks.
Back in ‘53, Egypt had unilaterally annexed Ghaza. The Muslim Brotherhood was still jailed at that time, so hadn’t infiltrated Ghaza yet. When Sadat freed their heads, they had him killed for making a peace agreement with Israel. But apparently, he only wanted the dessert part of the Sinai, and to have Israel forcibly evacuate Yamit.
