And then Turkey gets pissed off and sides even more in line with Iran? With how many other middle eastern countries on the fence for supporting Isreal. That isn’t in Israel’s best interest.
Harboring the Hamas terrorists they make the situation worse as they are now aiding and abetting cold blooded murders and that has consequences.

Imagine if Isreal created Hamas, funded Hamas & controls Hamas covertly with the sole intention of killing every single Palestinian just to steal their land while blaming Hamas.
remembered that Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood
Dr. John Coleman, a former British Intelligence agent…states in his report on Iran’s Islamic Revolution that the Muslim Brotherhood was created by “the great names of British Middle East intelligence”…and that their mission was to “keep the Middle East backward so that its natural resource, oil, could continue to be looted…”.
US investigative journalist Robert Dreyfus stated that MB was an offensive tool against nationalists and communists, frequently working to support Britain interests, and to spy on left-wing, nationalist and pan-Arab groups. MB’s chief international organizer, Said Ramadan, son-in-law of founder Hassan al-Banna, met with President Eisenhower in the Oval Office in 1954. Dreyfuss speculated that Ramadan had been recruited as a CIA agent. Wall Street Journal reporter Ian Johnson later documented close ties between Ramadan and western intelligence from the 1950s.
British historian and journalist Mark Curtis corroborated that Britain began financing MB in 1940s’ Egypt to strike at secular political parties represented by the ruling Wafd Party. Britain later backed MB efforts to overthrow President Gamal Abdel Nasser. Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, triggering an unsuccessful war against Egypt by the UK, France and Israel in 1956. Britain maintained secret contacts with MB and continued to do so until after Nasser’s death in 1970. The UK aimed to sow division within the Middle East and impede development of a unified Arab entity. Successive British governments since the 1940s provided support, protection and political asylum to members and leaders of MB, and sabotaged INTERPOL efforts to hunt down MB members wanted by Arab states. MB was a regressive force in service to the project of creative chaos in the Middle East and North Africa.

I am saying allowing hamas receive aid is not that different from directly supporting hamas. Netanyahoo is partly responsible for all the bloodshed and should be held accountable.

Hamas government in the Gaza Strip
en.m.wikipedia.org...#:~:text=Hamas%20has%20governed%20the%20Gaza,Gaza%20Strip%20by%20Yahya%20Sinwar.
2012 fuel crisis
Gaza generally obtained its diesel fuel from Israel[64] but, in 2011, Hamas began buying cheaper fuel from Egypt, bringing it via a network of tunnels, and refused to buy it from Israel.[65]
In early 2012, due to internal economic disagreement between the Palestinian Authority and the Hamas Government in Gaza, decreased supplies from Egypt through tunnel smuggling, and Hamas' refusal to ship fuel via Israel, the Gaza Strip plunged into a fuel crisis, bringing increasingly long electricity shut downs and disruption of transportation. Egypt attempted to stop the use of tunnels for delivery of Egyptian fuel purchased by Palestinian authorities, and severely reduced supply through the tunnel network. As the crisis deepened, Hamas sought to equip the Rafah terminal between Egypt and Gaza for fuel transfer, and refused to accept fuel delivered via the Kerem Shalom crossing between Israel and Gaza.[66]
In addition, Israel introduced a number of goods and vehicles into the Gaza Strip via the Kerem Shalom Crossing, as well as the normal diesel for hospitals. Israel also shipped 150,000 liters of diesel through the crossing, which was paid for by the Red Cross.[68]
In April 2012, the issue was resolved as certain amounts of fuel were supplied with the involvement of the Red Cross, after the Palestinian Authority and Hamas reached a deal. Fuel was finally transferred via the Israeli Kerem Shalom Crossing.[70]

Qatar raises annual aid to Gaza to $360 million

“This grant…will be used to pay employees’ salaries, provide financial aid to needy families, and operate power stations to limit the worsening of the humanitarian situation, and difficult living conditions in the Strip,” the Qatari government said in a statement carried by its state-owned mouthpieces.

I am to understand the Qataris offer this middle man service to many nations I just feel my nation shouldn't negotiate with terrorist.
Current budget
Most of the Gaza Strip administration funding comes from outside as aid, with a large portion delivered by UN organizations directly to education and food supply. Most of the Gaza GDP of $700 million comes as foreign humanitarian and direct economic support. Of those funds, the major part is supported by the U.S. and the European Union. Portions of the direct economic support have been provided by the Arab League, though it largely has not provided funds according to schedule. Among other alleged sources of Gaza administration budget is Iran.

What do you do when the “terrorists” are the government, and the aid is what keeps hospitals open and working, the lights on, and food on the table for the majority of the civilian people in Gaza?

That is a very nice question to ask Natayahu about. He has been funding Islamists since their inception. That is around 27 years before Hamas come to power.
