I'm pretty sure that was always a given. However the real question is: what would be the other Arab states' response be? Where would the US stand on this? Would Turkey's recent change of stance on Israel play in? What of Iran, perhaps the biggest dark horse in a conflict like that?
Sadly, I don't think there's gonna be any duels in that region. So you really have to take the other powers into account. And that does get a little scary for Israel, though fortunately, it's scary for everyone involved on the other side as well.
As far as Egypt alone, I think Israel has the capability to swiftly take Sinai again and hold on to it. Which is what the outcome of this theoretical scenario would be, imho.
