Bennett not only did nothing to eliminate Hamas, but diligently implemented the policy of containing Hamas ● For example, in 2018 Bennett did say in the media that transferring Qatari money to the Gaza Strip was "protection money," but in the cabinet he voted in favor of introducing the Qatari funds
NEWS 1 -- In a column written by left-wing former minister of Justice, Haim Ramon he says;
Yesterday Naftali Bennett said that Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to eliminate him politically while he himself wanted to eliminate Hamas. Bennett is right, Netanyahu wanted to eliminate him politically, and more than once. But Bennett at no point supported or acted to overthrow Hamas' rule in the Gaza Strip. In fact, the opposite is true.
Bennett often boasts that Netanyahu's book tells how he (Bennett) demanded a full ground invasion to conquer Gaza. Only Bennett does not continue and says that Netanyahu describes in his book how he stopped demanding this after a cabinet discussion in which the heads of the defense establishment participated, even though he continued to tell the media that he favors invading Gaza and eliminating Hamas.
