Hamas has been funded by Netanyahu

The claim that "Hamas has been funded by Netanyahu" requires careful examination of the context and nuances surrounding Israeli policy towards Hamas. Several sources indicate that while Netanyahu's government did not directly fund Hamas, it facilitated the flow of Qatari funds into Gaza, which indirectly supported Hamas's governance. This policy was partly motivated by a desire to maintain stability in the region and prevent a humanitarian crisis that could lead to increased violence. However, Netanyahu has publicly denied that he built up Hamas, labeling such claims as "ridiculous." The relationship between Netanyahu's government and Hamas is complex; while there were instances of indirect support through the approval of funds, the assertion that Netanyahu directly funded Hamas is misleading. The sources generally agree that the financial support for Hamas primarily came from Qatar, with Israeli cooperation, but they differ on the implications and motivations behind this policy. Thus, the claim is partly true, as it reflects a nuanced reality rather than a straightforward assertion.
