The Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel Yona Metzger on a recent visit to London gave an interview to “the Jewish news” in which the Rabbi called for the creation of a Palestinian state in the Sinai peninsular:

“Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger has been quoted as calling for Gazans to be transferred to the Sinai Peninsula, to a Palestinian state which he said could be constructed for them in the desert.

In an interview in English with the British weekly The Jewish News, the chief rabbi also said that while peaceable Muslims should be allowed to pray in Jerusalem mosques, they should recognize that Jerusalem belongs to the Jews. Muslims have Mecca and Medina, he was quoted as saying, adding that “you don’t need a third place.” Metzger called for Britain, the European Union and the United States to assist in the construction of a Palestinian state in Egypt’s Sinai Desert.

According to Metzger, the plan would be to “take all the poor people from Gaza to move them to a wonderful new modern country with trains buses cars, like in Arizona – we are now in a generation where you can take a desert and build a city. This will be a solution for the poor people – they will have a nice county, and we shall have our country and we shall live in peace.” (Source: Haaretz)

I believe that even though this plan is from such an esteemed person like the Chief Rabbi it is unfortunately doomed to fail.

This plan to does not take into account the fact that G-d promised the children Isaac all of the land from the Nile and the Euphrates. Any move to let once inch from this biblically bequeathed land even if it is the Sinai fall under the control of Arabs/Muslims/Christians will only anger G-d and is doomed to failure.
