Abbas will never allow a new election. But he is 87. reportedly in poor health. He cannot live forever.

He has hallowed out all institutions of the PA, probably has stolen hundreds of millions of dollars in aid, just like Arafat did. When Abbas does die, there will be a huge power struggle in the PA controlled areas.
The UN better be ready to pour in peacemaker troops, and a lot of monetary aid. If Israel is forced to intervene to try and keep the peace in PA controlled areas, it will be a disaster IMHO.
