There is absolutely no question that Bibi has cynically used Hamas to help him characterize all Palestinians, even those on the West Bank, as terrorists in order to discredit any initiatives toward peace and/or a two-state solution. His hardline stance regarding the West Bank and settlements is essential to maintain the far right in his shaky coalition.
In several ways (including his attempted judiciary coup to muck up his criminal prosecution), Bibi has demonstrated that he is far more concerned about his own personal well-being that he is in the well-being of the state of Israel.
