Wrong....Netanyahu controlled Hamas - well at least, he thought he did, by giving Hamas $30M cash per month.
btw, Iran is Shia and Hamas is Sunni. They don't get along.
Lastly, the Palestinian Authority have been trying to work out a Two State Solution with the Netanyahu Gov for more than a decade.
It has been Netanyahu who have refused to negotiate with the Palestinian Authority.
Its why he sponsored Hamas - to break any peace deal with the Palestinian.
He was so desperate that he would send Hamas $30M Cash a month, despite knowing the Hamas Charter, and despite having gone to war, 4 times against Hamas.
Hamas had No better Ally than Netanyahu.
How Netanyahu's Hamas policy came back to haunt him — and Israel
The Israeli leader and Hamas are deadly enemies — and allies in opposing a 2-state solution
'Keep Hamas alive and kicking'
This symbiotic relationship between Netanyahu and Hamas has been remarked on for years, by both friends and enemies, hawks and doves.
Yuval Diskin, former head of Israel's Shin Bet security service, told the daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth in 2013 that "if we look at it over the years, one of the main people contributing to Hamas's strengthening has been Bibi Netanyahu, since his first term as prime minister."
In August 2019, former prime minister Ehud Barak told Israeli Army Radio that Netanyahu's "strategy is to keep Hamas alive and kicking … even at the price of abandoning the citizens [of the south] … in order to weaken the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah."
The logic underlying this strategy, Barak said, is that "it's easier with Hamas to explain to Israelis that there is no one to sit with and no one to talk to."
Netanyahu's critics say that Hamas — with its bloodthirsty rhetoric, open antisemitism and stated intention never to share the land — played into the hands of a prime minister who also wanted to be able to tell western governments that Israel has "no partner" for peace.
Supporting Hamas rule in Gaza, those critics say, allowed Netanyahu to confine the Palestinian Authority to the West Bank and weaken it, dividing the Palestinians into two mutually antagonistic blocs.
