I don't believe for one moment that Netanyahu "trusted" Hamas - he thought he could outwit them.
Gaza doesn’t feel so good trusting them
If Netanyahu trusted Hamas, he was an idiot - and I don't believe for one moment that Netanyahu is an idiot. He's probably one of the most wily political operators around. Netanyahu used Hamas to divide Palestinians. Both are against Fatah, who are in favour of a two-state solution. Netanyahu thought that by keeping Hamas on his side, he could isolate Fatah.
With hindsight he was an idiot but it seemed a solution at the time 15 yrs later their true intent was revealed, so now can any Palestinian ever be trusted.
No, he wasn't an idiot. He didn't trust Hamas. He knew all the time what Hamas was like and what some of their leadership wanted. He thought he could use them for his own purposes and could keep them under control. I don't know why you keep going on about trust because I don't believe for one moment that he ever trusted them. Netanyahu himself plays that game and claims Hamas can't be trusted because he made a strategic error in his control strategy, but he's not going to admit that.
