There is no country of palistine, there's just un-annexed territory inhabited by local arabs. Therefore there can be no elected govt to be recognized by anyone. The PLA is not a govt, it's an organization designed to handle the welfare of the people in the territory. hamas is a terror organization that has taken control of much of the territory through intimidation and terror. hamas in gaza was elected by the people to replace the PLA. The PLA and hamas have now joined forces. Neither is a govt as that requires a country. But they both want to recognized as a govt.

Recognize them as a govt then carpet bomb the gaza strip.
