WikiLeaks: "Israel apoyó activamente a Hamas"
Documentos supuestamente muestran que Israel estaba interesado en la capacitación de Hamas en un intento por poner fin a la primera Intifada.
Durante la Operación "Borde Protector", noticias del sitio web WikiLeaks exponen documentos secretos de la comunicación entre los diplomáticos estadounidenses de la década de 1980. Estos documentos supuestamente muestran que
Israel estaba interesado en la actividad de apoyo a Hamas en su inicio, con la intención de debilitar a la Organización de Liberación de Palestina y poner fin a la primera Intifada.
¿Acaso Israel participa en permitir a Hamas alcanzar sus dimensiones y capacidades actuales? Los documentos de la década de 1980 que pertenecen a las filtraciones del sitios web Wikileaks muestran que Israel preparó a Hamás para actuar en la primera Intifada, a fin de que ésta pudiera tener la fuerza para así causar una división de la nación palestina -con el fin de debilitar a la Organización de Liberación de Palestina (OLP) que era responsable de la Intifada.
"Muchos en el West Bank creen que Israel apoya activamente a Hamas, en su esfuerzo por dividir a la nación palestina y debilitar a la Intifada", uno de los documentos secretos filtrados datan desde el 23 de septiembre 1988.
"Los propietarios de tiendas en Jerusalén y Nablus afirman que mientras los miembros de la OLP están distribuyendo folletos en secreto por miedo a las fuerzas de seguridad israelíes, Hamas distribuye sus folletos abiertamente".
"Por otra parte", el gobierno estadounidense escribió en el documento,
"A pesar de los numerosos arrestos, sólo un pequeño número de líderes de Hamas han sido detenidos. Creemos que Israel no solo hace vista gorda sobre la actividad de Hamas, sino que incluso lo admite".
"Cuando comenzó la Intifada fuentes oficiales de Israel dijeron que Hamas sirve como una contra-fuerza útil para las organizaciones seculares leales de la OLP", dicen los documentos revelados. Varios activistas de la OLP llegaron a afirmar que Israel utiliza Hamas para este propósito.
Otra afirmación que surge de la filtración es que Israel ve en la economía palestina otra manera de gobernar Gaza. "
Las principales fuentes en Israel han aprobado varias veces a las fuentes de la embajada estadounidense que se está planeando mantener la economía en Gaza lo más bajo posible, pero siempre tratando de evitar una crisis humanitaria".

Likud gains a vote everytime anything blows up. Hardly surprising the politics line up...
Edit: To some degree I wonder if it is a stretch to say that the Likud started this war because
Hamas had JUST allied with the more moderate Fatah. Combined they represented the vast majority of palestinians. That alliance could have unified Palestine and moved it towards peace. This could have led to peace, and thus Likud's fall from power. No evidence for this, so I don't believe it, but it really isn't so farfetched.

In re: your edit, it is not even a stretch. It is the most plausible reason right now.
The government can point to the kidnappings, but it is public knowledge now that they had clearly known Hamas had nothing to do with it. They can point to the rockets, but we all know through Wikileaks that Israeli politicians openly commended Hamas for its control of the rockets situation from 2012 (the last ceasefire) up until the government arrested hundreds of Hamas members and random Palestinian civilians in response to the kidnappings.
In essence, when anyone points to Hamas breaking ceasefire deals, we can really say that Israel was the first to break a ceasefire - the 2012 ceasefire - with its antagonistic actions toward Hamas. They started this mess, and now they're using every distraction under the sun to justify its continuation. The tunnels are just one such distraction. Just watch, come time for elections in Palestine this November, Israel will once again find a way to interfere in Palestinian internal affairs.
A unified Palestine, going to the UN to air its grievances and taking a hard line in bilateral negotiations (something Fatah had failed to do during Arafat's time) will cause plenty of problems for Israel, and they have incentive to do anything in its power to prevent such unification from ever occurring. That way they can continue to bomb Gaza for having militants as political leaders, and continue to ethnically cleanse the West Bank for having obsessive negotiators as political leaders*.
This strategy has backfired since the PLO 100% backs Hamas' preconditions for any ceasefire to occur, which goes back to the whole distractions part I mentioned above.
*Well, Fatah has really backed off of its policy favoring bilateral negotiations in the past few years. I believe their strategy of petitioning the UN is the most effective one. Now that they are a member, they will always play the "I'll take Israel to international court for crimes against humanity and war crimes" card during bilateral negotiations.

Not a stretch. For some context, Netanyahu himself has already made sure a few peace deals didn't happen. The unity government had a chance of reigning in the armed wing of Hamas. I'm not defending Hamas here but they have shown in the past they would at least try and curb the rockets attacks so there was a chance, however big or small that may have been - the unity could have seen some big and positive changes.
As far as Netanyahu is concerned, he has stopped peace deals himself before.

President Shimon Peres said Tuesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu torpedoed a peace deal reached covertly in 2011 with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Speaking to Channel 2 news Tuesday, Peres said that he and Abbas had essentially reached a draft agreement on “almost all issues” and that an accord was being readied, after a series of secret meetings in Jordan.
Gershon Baskin’s efforts as a negotiator led to the release of captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, held by Hamas in Gaza from 2006 to 2011. Through this work, Baskin came into mediated contact with Ahmed Jabari, commander of Hamas’s military wing. According to Baskin, Jabari had just been presented with the draft of a long-term cease-fire proposal, another effort of Baskin’s, when Israel assassinated Jabari on Nov. 14. The Israeli government was aware of Baskin's attempts, he says, but "decided not to take that path."
The targeted killing and accompanying bombings broke off an informal truce, mediated by Egypt, that had seemed to signal an end to escalation. Baskin wrote in The Daily Beast: “Jaabari is dead, and so is the chance for a mutually beneficial long term cease-fire understanding.”
Netanyahu does not want peace. It really wouldn't surprise me if he orchestrated the response after those teens were killed to goad Hamas into making a response. The reason he gets voted in is because people want to see a response - but that response comes into existent because of his policy and the lack of conditions being met that have constantly been asked for (but denied) in any peace talks by the Palestinian side.
