Thanks. So Israel handed out work permits and “allowed suitcases holding millions in Qatari cash to enter Gaza through its crossings since 2018, in order to maintain its fragile ceasefire with the Hamas”.
That’s sounds a bit different from “Netanyahu didn’t just let the attacks happen, we also know he funded Hamas, and has wanted the attack to use as casus belli so he could do some fucked up war crimes of his own.”
I’m not denying that he’s employing a “divide and conquer” strategy, that a lot of his doing is making the conflict worse, that’s he’s using the opportunity to do a lot of damage etc. But it’s not that he funded Hamas because he wanted the attack to happen (at least the article doesn’t prove that).
It’s not that he wanted this particular attack to happen (this article doesn’t prove that, as you said). It’s that he’s been allowing Qatari money to flow into Gaza, knowing full well it’s Hamas getting it. As for the fact that Netanyahu wanted to do warcrimes… Well just look at what he and his cabinet say.
You can’t ever prove that last part. But knowing he had the intelligence and still moved troops away is pretty indicative of a decision that the Israelis in those towns were expendable.

It’s interesting to me that that has to be repeated so often. It’s really not a little known fact.
