“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.

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

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?

Did Israel expect their negotiating partner to hold up their end of a negotiated ceasefire? Yes, they absolutely expected that.
If you don’t hold that Hamas will keep its agreements then how can they be negotiated with?

Israel isn’t as stupid or naive as you seem to think. They have the best intelligence service in the world and usually know what’s going on.
