Like it turned ok in the west bank where the PA can't protect Palestinians from settlers and act as a dog guard for Israel?

Not by collaborators and dictators and priority number one is to stop the genocide otherwise it will be a palestine with no one in it and a constitution for non existant people

Who do you think should write their constitution then. What alternative do you propose?

You do a fair election first then you write the constitution with all the Palestinians factions without foreign interference . Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine for example was not included

They're planning on elections.

Abbas has pledged in letters to world leaders to hold elections within a year.

Hamas has pushed in talks with Egypt and Fatah for elections to be held within six to 12 months of a ceasefire.

And just because certain factions were left out, doesn't mean they still can't submit their proposals.

The Palestinian news agency WAFA said the committee includes “national, political and social figures as well as legal and constitutional experts,” with representation from civil society and women. Specialized technical sub-committees will also be formed. An online platform will be created to collect proposals from Palestinians at home and abroad.
