Israeli politics might be getting interesting pretty soon. About time.
Netanyahu Was Warned Twice by Israeli Intelligence That He Was Funding Terrorism Arm of Hamas Through Qatar
"Flying in the face of Netanyahu's already dubious explanation for funneling hundreds of millions of dollars to Hamas over the past decade, a figure put at around $1.3 billion by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, two different Israeli intelligence agencies have asserted that they warned Netanyahu at various times that funds, often consisting of suitcases filled with cash, were being commandeered by the Hamas military wing.
It may come as a surprise to many Americans, used to hearing that Israel is locked in a desperate death struggle with Hamas, that Netanyahu has been active in bolstering the organization with hundreds of millions of dollars.
The Times of Israel wrote in March 2025:
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was warned at least twice before the Hamas onslaught of October 7, 2023, that the terror groupās military chief Muhammad Deif was appropriating funds provided by Qatar to Gaza with the premierās approval, Hebrew media reported Tuesday.
According to near-identical reports by Channel 12 and the Kan public broadcaster, Netanyahu was warned in 2019 by then-Shin Bet chief Nadav Argaman, and again in 2020 by the IDFās Military Intelligence Directorate....
Kan reported that Argaman wrote Netanyahu saying the Shin Bet had āidentified that funds flowing from Qatar to Gaza have been diverted to Hamasās military wing.ā Netanyahu was said to reply, āIāve heard, weāll continue the process,ā or words to that effect."
Prominent critics of Netanyahu's policy of funding Hamas include former prime minister Ehud Barak, and former Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman.

CNN wrote in 2023:
āIn 2018, Qatar began making monthly payments to the Gaza Strip. Some $15 million were sent into Gaza in cash-filled suitcases ā delivered by the Qataris through Israeli territory after months of negotiation with Israelā¦.
Israel approved the deal in a security cabinet meeting in August 2018, when Netanyahu was serving his previous tenure as premier.ā
At a Likud party conference in 2019, Netanyahu said:
āAnyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas ā¦ā
Israel is the single largest recipient of US civilian and military assistance in the world.
In 2001, soon before he died, longtime chairman of the PLO Yasser Arafat said Hamas was a "creature of Israel."
Each time Netanyahu blusters that he hates, loathes, and will annihilate Hamas, he is talking about an entity he himself nurtured and created.
There is even a Wikipedia page on the entire matter, "Israeli Support for Hamas".
In US media, only One America News Network (OANN) has so far deigned to report that it is Netanyahu and Israel which has been funding Hamas, often through the intermediary of Qatar. Last month, September 2025, OANN host Matt Gaetz roiled the Internet when he ran a clip of recently assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk, with Kirk saying that he did not believe the official account of the October 7 attack on Israel.
Kirk suggested that the Gaza - Israel border was far too impenetrable for a ground attack to succeed without a "stand-down" order, meaning help from inside the defenses.
Now, an IDF soldier, Shalom Sheetrit, has gone before the Israeli Knesset and testified that his unit on the border on October 7 was given just such a stand-down order.
Sgt. Sheetrit said to a Knesset committee in July 2025:
Sheetrit said:
Gaetz then proceeded to detail how, little known to much of the world, Netanyahu and Israel have been funneling hundreds of millions of dollars to Hamas.
