Most of the public doesn't seem to know that Hamas is Israel's by-product, their own creation, not Iran's or somebody else's.
According to the Times, Israeli intelligence agents traveled into Gaza with a Qatari official carrying suitcases filled with cash to disperse money. Retired Israeli general Shlomo Brom described the logic of Netanyahu’s position: “One effective way to prevent a two-state solution is to divide between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.” If the extremist Hamas ruled Gaza, then the Palestinian Authority—a compromised comprador government with a tenuous hold on the West Bank—would be further weakened. This, according to Brom, would allow Netanyahu to say, “I have no partner.”

Netanyahu said, "Hamas also has bank accounts for aid in banks, we help them too, you [Turkey] can help too."

"Anyone 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 – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank."
Prime Minister Netanyahu responded to the accusations of funding and strengthening Hamas by calling them "ridiculous".
