I think Netanyahu was committed to obliterating the Palestinian state from the git go. He was accused early on of funneling money to Hamas in order to set the stage for this whole eradication and takeover of the territory.

Why did Israel back the payments?
Israeli and international media have reported that Netanyahu’s plan to continue allowing aid to reach Gaza through Qatar was in the hope that it might make Hamas an effective counterweight to the PA and prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.

For the whole story see below. This is not any reflection on Jews but Netanyahu and his group of thugs.
