The only substantiated evidence towards this claim is the sending of humanitarian aid which is so makes Hamas an extension of half the planet by the same logic.You’re right that Hamas doesn’t want peace and they are shitty and a major factor in perpetuating ongoing bloodshed… what you fail to understand is the above facts are EXACTLY the reason Israel acted to support Hamas from its inception.
At this point, Hamas should be regarded as just an extension of Israel.
“Brigadier General Yitzhak Segev, who served as the Israeli military governor in Gaza during the early 1980s, admitted to providing financial assistance to Mujama al-Islamiya, the precursor of Hamas, on the instruction of the Israeli authorities.<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_support_for_Hamas#cite_note-blowback-2"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_support_for_Hamas#cite_note-27"><span>[</span>27<span>]</span></a><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_support_for_Hamas#cite_note-28"><span>[</span>28<span>]</span></a>Former Israeli Civil Administration director Efraim Sneh stated in 1992 that "we saw the fundamentalists mainly as an unthreatening social force aiming to improve the bad conditions and standards of living of the Palestinians ...

But when I took charge of the Southern Command, I was shocked by the number of mosques that had been recently constructed in Gaza. As it turned out, Israel’s strategists had been supportive of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin’s charitable organization."<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_support_for_Hamas#cite_note-29"><span>[</span>29<span>]</span></a>”

Foreign states have access to the same information we do, why would they knowingly send humanitarian aid and weapons if they know Israel controls both sides of the conflict ? Why waste all the time effort money and not to mention lives ?
It makes no sense for Israel to try and create a situation that makes them look this bad, They are now seen as genocidal state, what is the upside ?
