#2  If you play out the future...
(1) Muslim brotherhood takes over.
(2) Reasonable Egyptians leave (that is probably the bulk of their officer corps) and military equipment starts to go bad.
(3) Egypt attacks Israel with waves the way Iranians attacked Iraq.

A large war and totally humiliating defeat of Egypt and would probably do more towards middle east peace in the long run then than a peaceful government. Since Egypt is likely to start such an war it would be hard to blame the Israelis for keeping the penninsula this time and Palestianan reactions might make it easy to displace the Gaza population into the newly occupied territory creating a Palestinian state with smaller borders with Israel.
