Palestinians are unhappy with Fatah, and Hamas in particular:

Not everyone has taken kindly to this new authoritarian yoke. Inspired by protests against other despots, Palestinians in both territories have been crying for “revolution until we end the division”. In Gaza and the West Bank protesters champ for an interim government of the young, aligned to no party, to be followed by elections in both bits of Palestine.

If Palestinians rejected Hamas and united behind a movement that believes in peaceful coexistence with Israel and the unification of Gaza and the West Bank under a representative government, and they push for it through peaceful protests, the pressure on Israel would be immense. There would be no possibility but Israel ceding land they’ve gained through settlements and coming to a real agreement.
