Hamas is an Isreali creation, just like America's relationship with Alqaeda, Hamas is the boogeyman that justifies Isreali atrocities against Palestinians. Isreali Mossad factionaliazed the PLO and created Hamas, to divide the Palestinians and create a convinient boogeyman.

Thus Isreal hits the Palestinian honey nest anytime there's a political impasse, whip up patriotic frenzy and increase popularity, it's a tried and trusted formula of always attacking an external enemy when failing domestically.. Netanyahu is politically on the ropes
