In explanation Israel and Hamas are mortal enemies of the thought of a two-state solution in Palestine. However, as it turns out, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu finance activities of Hamas terrorists. He did it for a reason.
Like Netanjah financial Hamas? Israelis disagree on many issues, especially recently, but polls show that most agree that Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu is guilty of leaving Israel unprepared for Hamas' attack of 7 October.
However, the accusations directed at Netanjah go beyond specified unforeseenity or preventing the Hamas attack of October 7. Many accuse him of deliberately strengthening the group's position for decades as part of a strategy to sabotage a two-state solution based on the rule of “grounds for peace”.
- There have been many criticisms in Israel of Netanyahu for the introduction of a long-term policy to strengthen Hamas and keep Gaza on the brink, while weakening the Palestinian Authority said Mairav Zonszein of the global Crisis Group, during his interview for CBC News. -Hamas and Netanjahu strengthen each another in the sense that they let each another to proceed utilizing force alternatively of taking talks to accomplish a solution – he added.
Yuval Diskin, erstwhile head of the Israeli safety service Shin Bet, in turn told Yedioth Ahronoth in 2013 that “if we look at this over the years, 1 of the main contributors to Hamas’ reinforcement is Bibi Netanjah. He has supported him since his first word as Prime Minister."
In August 2019, erstwhile Prime Minister Ehud Barak told Israeli radio that “the Netanyahu strategy is to keep Hamas alive and kick... even at the price of abandoning citizens [south]... to weaken the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah." Barak stated that the logic underlying this strategy is that “thanks to Hamas it is easier to explain to the Israelis that there is no 1 to sit down with.”
Critics of Netanjahu say that Hamas – with his bloodthirsty rhetoric, open alleged anti-Semitism and declared intent to never divide the land – played in favour of the Prime Minister, who besides wanted to be able to tell Western governments that Israel "has no partner" for peace talks. The support of Hamas' regulation in Gaza, according to these critics, allowed Netanyahu to restrict the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and weaken it, dividing Palestinians into 2 mutually fighting camps (i.e. the West Bank and Gaza).
Netanjahu first came to power in the 1996 election. This followed the assassination of Prime Minister Icchak Rabin by an Israeli extremist opposed to the Oslo Accords. Determined to sabotage Oslo, Hamas embarked on a ruthless run of suicide bombings that helped Netanyahu outrun his countercandidate Simon Peres and win the election of May 29, 1996. Today, any of the same extremists who called for the death of Icchak Rabin hold power in the Netanjah government.
Just 2 weeks before the execution of Rabin, a young extremist settler posed for cameras with an ornament on a Cadillac mask he allegedly stole from Rabin's car. "As we have reached this emblem," he said, "we could scope Rabin."
Today, this young man, Itamar Ben Gvir, is 45 years old and 8 Israeli convictions – including support for a terrorist organization and incitement to racism. He was erstwhile rejected by the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) due to his extremist views. Now Israeli police must answer to him as national safety minister Benjamin Netanjah.
Young Ben Gvir shows the finish of the Icchak Rabin Cadillac.Many analysts believe that 1 of the main objectives of the Hamas attack on Israel was to derail the standardization talks between Israel and Saudi Arabia, which would leave Palestinians out of the way. Last week, in an different speech in Houston, the Saudi prince Turki bin Faisal powerfully criticized Hamas for his cruelty and obstructionism. But he besides had words for Israel.
- I condemn Hamas for sabotaging Saudi Arabia's efforts to accomplish a peaceful solution to Palestine's hard situation. I besides condemn Israel for sending catharic money to Hamas – he said. Prince Turki meant the money that the Qatari royal household has been sending to Gaza for years for an amount of about $1 billion.
Hawk defence minister Netanjahu Avigdor Liberman was the first to inform in 2020 that Bibi had sent Mossad's boss Yossi Cohen and IDF officer in charge of Gaza Zone, Herzie Halevi, to Doha to “beggish” the Qataris to proceed sending money to Hamas.
Both Egypt and Qatar are angry at Hamas and planned to break their relation with them. abruptly Netanjahu appears as a defender of Hamas – the leader complained.
A year later (2021) Netanjahu was even more embarrassed erstwhile photographs of suitcases full of cash headed for the Gaza Strip were made public to support Hamas. Liberman yet resigned in protest of Netanjahu Hamas's politics, which, in his opinion, means "the first time Israel financed terrorism against itself". The Minister of Education Netanjahu Naftali Bennett besides condemned payments and resigned.
Ahmed Majdalani of the Palestinian Authority accused Qatar envoy of transporting money to Hamas. He called him a gangser. In the government of Autonomy, they know very well that Qatar and Israel's support of Hamas aims to make division in Autonomy and to represent Palestinians as terrorists.
- The O.P. refuses to transfer money to Hamas. – he said.
After Bennett and Liberman had a fight with Netanjah, the government was forced to halt the cash supply for Hamas. But this government (without Netanjah) survived only 18 months. Netanjahu then returned to power with new, more extremist allies who supported Hamas' support policy to prevent a negotiated peace agreement.
The current Finance Minister of Netanyahu, a settler on the West Bank of Belazel Smotrich, explained the approach of the Israeli government as early as 2015: -Hamas is an asset and Abu Mazen is an asset. (Mahmoud Abbas, leader of the Palestinian Authority – ed.) is simply a burden.
According to the “Jerusalem Post” on March 12, 2019, Netanyahu defended contributions to Hamas saying that they weaken the agreement with the Oslo Palestinian Authority: “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel's regular authorisation to send catharic funds to Gaza, saying that it is part of a broader strategy to separate Hamas from the Palestinian Authority.”
"The Prime Minister besides said that 'whoever is against the Palestinian State should be in favour' of transferring funds to Gaza, as maintaining the separation between the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza helps prevent the creation of the Palestinian State".
Netanjahu insisted that neither the money nor the building materials given to Hamas would be utilized for military purposes. But present the IDF shows how Hamas did precisely that – redirecting and transforming civilian funds and materials for war purposes.
- The war tried to inform him. – said the Ma’ariv paper erstwhile IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot. -Netanjahu acted in complete opposition to the National safety Council's assessments, which stated that there was a request to make 2 states.
Mustafa Barghouti, a doctor and associate of the OWP Central Council, was a key figure in talks between Hamas and Fatah, which aimed to unite Palestinians in 1 block that could negociate peace between 2 states. Every time we approached the room, Netanjahu started a run claiming Abbas was working with terrorists. said CBC News of Ramallah in the West Bank.
“Every time Netanjahu was asked, “Why don’t you negociate with Abbas”, he replied, “I can’t negociate with the Palestinian Authority, which does not represent all Palestinians.” Therefore, he utilized Hamas to justify his absolute opposition to any negotiated peace agreement – he added.
Just 12 days before the Hamas massacres in confederate Israel, Netanyahu spoke before the United Nations General Assembly, holding a map of what he called the “New mediate East”, depicting the full West Bank and Gaza, as well as East Jerusalem and Syria of Golan Hills, as part of enlarged Israel, without a visible Palestinian state.
Israel is widely convinced that Netanjah’s career is about to end. After the failure of immunity, he will face a trial of serious corruption charges.
Both Hamas and Netanjahu can prove to be more hard to destruct than their enemies hope. But even if they leave the scene, the harm caused by the two-state solution will not be easy to repair, and the current war is likely to make the situation worse. It will besides not be easy for the Gazans to accept the restoration of the corrupt Palestinian Authority, especially 1 that returns to power on an Israeli tank.
- Autonomy has lost most of its legitimacy and credibility on the streets of the West Bank said Zonszein. - There's been no election for 16 years, and they don't even have the power to regulation the West Bank, so why would anyone think they could regulation Gaza?
Barghouti agreed that the current Palestinian Authority and its leaders were in a blind alley. -No Palestinian leader will always have legitimacy without free democratic elections, and that is actual whether he governs Gaza or not – he said. - But I don't think Israel is curious in the Palestinian government in Gaza. They're after full demolition and depopulation of this area. – he added.
