Why doesn't Palestine gain its own Flag (Of red, black, white, and green) after becoming independent from the UK? Instead it retains its colonial British flag. Any chance the devs can work this out please?

Letter to any concerned dev:
To whom it may concern,
Paradox Interactive, since its founding, has always strived for historical accuracy within all its history-based games. Hearts of Iron IV is no exception. Yet even with all of HOI 4's factually correct events and intricate gameplay, there remains a single blaring historical inaccuracy that cannot be overlooked. In the Levant region, which at the start of the game is occupied by the UK and France, minor nations are able to eventually gain independence from colonial rule and have their own playthroughs. Yet even should Palestine gain independence from the UK it remains to be called "Mandate Palestine" and continues to hold the colonial British flag rather than its official flag of red, black, white, and green. Even more ironically the game does include the nation "Israel" with its emblem even when it too is partially recognised and remains unrecognised by almost 30 sovereign states. That is why I hope that Paradox Interactive would consider making 2 simple changes that require the most basic form of code editing. So that "Mandate Palestine" may gain its official name upon independence and its official flag and emblem just like any other state within the game.
Thank you for your time,

So the gaza strip is not part of palestine? There the hamas is in power.
Abd according to wikipedia the last elections were in 2006.
You have asked and I have answered. You seem to have overlooked the latter part of my previous response. I would also like to remind you that your previous questions asked about the capital, government, and elections. Not what territories Palestine consists of or any other alternate governments. The Gaza strip is a part of the internationally recognized Palestinian state and HAMAS is the current authority there due to them being the winning party since the elections of 2006 that took place in Gaza. Since your preferred source seems to be wikipedia, I enclose a screenshot of a link (Links are bugged for me) that leads to an article regarding the 2022 elections. Not that from now I will refrain from replying to any irrelevant content that adds no progress to the thread.
