Netanyahu himself has said that:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel’s regular allowing of Qatari funds to be transferred into Gaza, saying it is part of a broader strategy to keep Hamas and the Palestinian Authority separate, a source in Monday’s Likud faction meeting said.

The prime minister also said that, “whoever is against a Palestinian state should be for” transferring the funds to Gaza, because maintaining a separation between the PA in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza helps prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Yep, Netanyahu used Hamas' existence as a political tool to divide Palestinians, weaken peace efforts, and maintain Israeli control.

He let Qatari cash find its way to Hamas.
