WI: Egyptian Empire Replaces Ottoman Empire Post WW1?

What If Egyptian Empire Replaces Ottoman Empire Post WW1?

British Military Governor of Jerusalem Ronald Storrs' seems to have favored the Egyptian monarchy over the Hashemites. So what if the British had of handed over Syria and Palestine to Egypt? Would the Egyptians meet the same fate as Hashemite Syria in 1920?
His own personal positions were that the Sharif Husayn was asking for more Arab territory than he had any right to, and that Syria and Palestine should be incorporated into a British-sponsored Egyptian Empire as a replacement for the Ottoman Empire, a plan which was never implemented.

I don't think that governments of France and UK were pretty intrested to create large and powerful Arab nation, not matter is it under Hashemites or Egypt.
