Hamas was a golem created by Mossad as a religious counterweight to the KGB controlled secular PLO in order to split the palestinians among two rival factions, because, as arabs, they would spend at least as much time fighting each other as attacking israel.
It's the standard israeli play, of "Hey, let's you and him fight!"
Then the USSR fell, the PLO lost it's funding, and it's leadership (Arafat).

That left israel facing their own creation.
