The property belongs to the respective countries pre-1967 borders. That would be the only legal basis. If those countries wish to give up their rights to establish a Palestinian state, it's their property and they have a right to do so. As a matter of fact, both Egypt and Jordan (the only parties referred to in Resolution 242) have disclaimed rights, without assigning them elsewhere. Egypt was offered Gaza back in 1979, but refused it. King Hussein renounced Jordan's claim in 1988, but I do not recall him giving it to the PLO - why should he, the PLO had tried to kill him numerous times.
