Was there ever a possibility that a part of Germany be given to the Jewish survivors?

Discussing the Middle East war (of 2024 for later reference), a question emerged from my German friends: was there ever a discussion that a piece of conquered Germany be eventually given to the Jewish survivors of the holocaust?

I realize of course the many issues with such a proposal. Nevertheless it would have had upsides as well. It could have taken the wind out of the Zionist movement and would have made relocation for the remaining European Jews much easier. It would have avoided a political clash with the Arab world while also giving the Western allies a strongly motivated buffer to Germany for the future. And it would have come at a cost to the nation that cant complain while also serving as a nice piece of PR for the US and the UN agenda.

This question is a pure hypothetical, so we were just playing with it. But was there ever any serious thought given to it?
