What part of Egypt lies east of the Suez Canal and the Gulf of Suez and borders western Israel?
It is the Sinai Peninsula.
The Sinai Peninsula looks a lot like a shark tooth or upside-down home-plate in Baseball. Its western edge is the Suez Canal and the Gulf of Suez. Its eastern edge is the Gulf of Aqaba and the Israeli/Palestinian-Egyptian border. Its northern coast is on the Mediterranean and its southernmost point is the confluence of the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba at the Red Sea.
The canal was completed in 1869. A French company was behind the project. The canal was built by forced labor.

It depends on how you define Palestine. If you define it as the territories under the de facto control of the Palestinian Authority, it only borders Israel. If you consider only the territories of the West Bank, even those under de facto Israeli control, it borders both Israel and Jordan. If you consider all of the Palestinian Territories, also including the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, it borders Israel, Jordan, and Egypt. If you consider the former Mandate of Palestine that many Arabs use when they discuss Palestine replacing Israel, it would border Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon (but no Israel since Israel would be gone).

Does Israel have anything to do with the Suez Canal?
Yes and No. It's in Egypt and built nearly a century before Israel existed. However, due to Egypt's belligerence towards Israel between 1948-1979, the Suez Canal was illegally closed off to Israeli shipping. In 1956, this prompted a war from Israel to acquire control of the Canal to offset the Egyptian blockade of the Straits of Tiran. In 1967, Israel conquered all of the Sinai Peninsula up to the Suez Canal, which was only ceded back to Egypt in 1979.
