That's not a "current" idea, and is only diplomatically material. Hell it's only historically diplomatically material because Jordan and Egypt don't give a rat's ass about Palestinians after Palestinian refugees attempted coups in their countries.

My point is that the Gaza strip and West Bank were won in the Six Day War from Jordan and Egypt, so I'm not sure who OP means when they say "return land"

Palestine isn't a country, wasn't ever a country, and was only offered the possibility of becoming a country by Israel.

Actually, "Palestine" is the historic name for the region. Denying it's existence is denying the existence of the Kingdom of Israel.

Your weird erasure of the concept of "Palestine" would be called anti-Semitic if you were talking about Israel. I'm just going to assume it's bigotry at this point. Some Palestinians have roots going back thousands of years in the region. Israel is Palestine dummy.

So not a country, then, as your link confirms.
