> however, that doesn’t work with an enemy like Hamas

Except that it was the currently Israeli government to prop up Hamas power in the Gaza strip in order to de-legitimize the other (non terrorist) Palestinian political authority the PLO.

It's very convenient to have a terror organization as your counter party when you want to crush any hope for a two state solution.

In fact, the current Israeli government and intelligence helped Hamas fund and arm itself. And they knew about a huge terror attack coming and did very little to prevent it or defend their own people.

Even if Netanyahu illicitly provided some support to Hamas as a counter to the PLO, Hamas still was voted in with a majority vote and then took over complete control of Gaza and indoctrinated the people to their extremist views.

I agree the current Israeli government should have continued working with the PLO. Netanyahu has been a terrible leader for Israel. However they didn’t create Hamas either.
