Netanyahu's 2014 direct contact with Hamas
The Israeli newspaper Maariv revealed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made direct contacts with a leader of Hamas, Gazi Hammad, during Operation Protective Edge in 2014, through his close businessman Shlomi Fogel, without the knowledge of the Israeli security and military establishment. The telephone conversations lasted several weeks and, according to reports, were conducted under Netanyahu's directives and in coordination with Yossi Cohen, aiming to attempt a ceasefire during the military operation. The discovery by Israeli officials that Netanyahu was independently managing secret negotiations shocked them, as it was revealed that Fogel was operating with Netanyahu's authorization and approval. This led to a crisis within the security agencies, and those communications were subsequently halted. Investigations confirm that this series of secret contacts was a pivotal event in Netanyahu's relationships with the security establishment during that period.
