Palestine Liberation Organization

Hamas opposed the peace efforts between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization. Hamas also opposed the Oslo Accords when rival Fatah renounced violence and recognized the existence of Israel as part of a two-state solution. According to journalist Seymour Hersh, Netanyahu made a deal with Qatar that it would fund Hamas because “Bibi was convinced that he would have more control over Hamas with the Qatari money” and “you can create a Frankenstein and keep control of it.” Netanyahu’s plan wasto divide power between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, which was controlled by the Palestinian Authority, and “most of the time, Israeli policy was to treat the Palestinian Authority as a burden and Hamas as an asset.” สล็อต
