Don’t forget, Netanyahu and his Likud party spent hundreds of millions of dollars funding Hamas for the last 40 years. In 1979, when Israel had control of Gaza, the Israeli government, under Netanyahu’s recommendation, gave a budget to Yitzak Segev, who was the military governor of Gaza at the time, to create a radical religious group as a counterweight to the PLO and Fatah under Yasser Arafat. He found Sheikh Yassin Ahmed, who was in charge of the Muslim brotherhood in Gaza, and authorised him to start Hamas as a charity. They gave him hundreds of millions of dollars to fund Hamas while at the same time banning participation in the PLO and other secular Palestinian groups, thereby helping Hamas to grow. Since then, Avner Cohen and other Israeli officials have stated very loudly and repeatedly that creating a religious terrorist group was a terrible idea, but they have been ignored for 40 years. Netanyahu said in 2019 “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support the bolstering of Hamas, and the transferring of money to Hamas. This is part of our strategy, to support Hamas in order to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.”
