“Meanwhile, Israel has allowed suitcases holding millions in Qatari cash to enter Gaza through its crossings since 2018, in order to maintain its fragile ceasefire with the Hamas rulers of the Strip.”
Ok, not directly funded but they allowed the money to flow to them.
Did Israel expect them to? Just to be clear - you are not talking to a Hamas sympathiser here. They are cunts, but apparently they are useful cunts for Israel, so they helped out with funding. What did Israel think they were going to spend those “suitcases of cash” on?

That’s actually a myth. They didn’t “fund Hamas”, they contributed to a development fund that Hamas stole from.

Israel held up their end of a negotiated ceasefire that included these terms. Hamas’ terms included ending attacks on Jews.
Did they?
