"""continued to infiltrate and squat on state-owned land,""

Disputed ownership, and arguably the "State" in question should by rights be Palestine.

""Instead of prosecution, Israel proposes to settle the conflict by offering extremely generous settlements in return for the withdrawal of the Bedouin's ownership claims. By 2006, the ILA's efforts to reach compromise agreements with Bedouin land claimants had resulted in agreements regarding 150,000 dunams out of the 800,000 dunams under dispute.""

And then what??.....Do they walk round in circles in the desert till they all die, leaving Israel with more space for colonisation? They can't eat or drink money, and it's not much help where there's nowhere to spend it, is it?

That seems to be exactly what you were decrying in Egypt's behaviour, but if Israel does it, it's alright. Is that what you mean?
