Hamas as an Asset: Netanyahu's Strategic Gambit is a major work of geopolitical analysis that confronts one of the most controversial and consequential questions in the history of the Israel-Gaza conflict: whether Israel's long-running strategy under Benjamin Netanyahu, far from neutralizing Hamas, helped entrench the very political and strategic conditions that made the October 7 catastrophe possible.

The book's core argument is provocative but precise. It does not claim that Netanyahu created Hamas or wanted the massacre of October 7. It argues something more serious: that his governments repeatedly chose a framework in which Hamas-rule in Gaza was preferable, politically, to a unified Palestinian arena that could revive meaningful pressure for partition, diplomacy, and statehood. In that framework, Palestinian division became useful. The Palestinian Authority became weaker. Gaza became separately managed. Deterrence became dogma. And Hamas, though always a deadly enemy, became a spoiler whose continued rule served a larger anti-resolution logic.

Written in a gripping narrative style but grounded in documented evidence, the book reconstructs this story chapter by chapter. It begins with Netanyahu's worldview and rejection of Oslo's logic. It then moves through the breakdown of talks, the emergence of Gaza as a separate political theater, the use of Hamas as a counterweight to the Palestinian Authority, the approval of Qatari funds into Gaza, the strategic consequences of prisoner exchanges, and the false belief that Hamas had been contained. It follows the intelligence failures that preceded October 7, the attack itself in harrowing detail, the immediate Israeli emergency response, the political reckoning inside Netanyahu's government, the devastating military campaign in Gaza, the international backlash, and the moral and strategic questions that remain unresolved.

The result is a book that operates on several levels at once. It is a work of political history. It is a study of statecraft distorted by ideological preference. It is a critique of deterrence as a substitute for policy. And it is a warning about what happens when democratic states begin treating hostile non-state actors as manageable instruments rather than as unresolved strategic problems.

This is not a book for readers looking for slogans. It is a book for readers who want causal explanation, strategic depth, and uncomfortable clarity.
