Very well documented is the fact that in the 1980s, Israel supported Hamas to undermine the PLO, because the PLO wanted a two-state solution and Hamas and Israel did not. Hamas has long provided Israel with the excuse to keep escalating.
If I remember correctly, the PLO only adopted a two-state ideology in 1993.
Frankly, it’s all pretty well documented. They’ve been doing it out in the open for a long time.
