Netanyahu and his cronies want Hamas to be in charge of Palestine, because the last thing he needs is a competent and legitimate Palestinian government.

Do you have a source for this? Sounds interesting

A quote from Netanyahu: âAnyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas⌠This is part of our strategy â to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.â

I already knew that Israel facilitated transfers of funds from other sources, but I didnât know that they also did direct funding and transfers. According to that wiki article, Israel was at least certainly doing that in the 1980s and 90s. Not that it really matters, Israel soliciting other parties to give money to Hamas or Israel directly giving money to Hamas, thereâs little difference really.
I canât find anything right away about video evidence, but I wouldnât be surprised at this point. Iâd love a source for that as well.
