not all the time in these 20 years has been marked by acute conflict. They could have had a chance to plan new elections.
Of course Israel would have opposed them, as they would have further legitimized the independence of a territory that they want to occupy, but that would have just further exposed their contradictions (the democratic balward of the Middle East that opposes free elections in their neighbour's house), all while gaining more support from other Western democracies.
They didn't even have to successfully run the elections, if eventually the conditions didn't permit them, but sometimes even showing the intention suffices.
Instead, by clinging onto power for so long, they have just fueled the rhetoric of their opponents who depict them as an undemocratic regime - and alienated many from their cause.
