The research I have done suggests that Netanyahu and the IDF have been fundamental to the creation and maintenance of Hamas, in order to replace the PLO. Because they seek to conquer the land occupied by Palestinians the warhawks do not want peace under any circumstances, since that would disable them from military conquest. We see today that the military conquest of Gaza, and the West Bank, is nearly complete. All that remains to be done before Israel can absorb that territory is the eradication of the current tenants, who are being killed as cruelly and inhumanely as possible, by starvation, pestilence, and targeting of children and non-combatants with military weapons.

In view of this information derived from different sources at different times creating a coherent and consistent view of the strategy of the IDF, that also continues pre-1947 tactics of the Irgun and other Zionist terror cells, being corroborated by reports the IDF knew the plan, the IDF allowed Hamas to enter without effective opposition, and in every way facilitated Hamas' plan, initiation, and prosecution of the attack on Oct. 7, it would be anomalous if the IDF had not had a part in planning that operation.

After all, it was the culmination of decades of funding and scheming to prevent the Palestinian people from waging peaceful co-existence with Levantine Jews, as they had practiced for millennia prior. The projection of the atrocities the IDF commits against Palestinian civilians onto their victims is typical of 20th Century genocides and ethnic cleansing, that Kissinger developed into high art with a staff that tracked which lies he had told to which polities. The massive expenditures of public funds for military conquest all ends up profiting defense contractors and their stockholders, which Smedley Butler claimed was a primary motivation for the US adventurism of the early 20th Century. Netanyahu would be foolish to allow his manufactured mercenary stooges to come up with their own plan to provide the propaganda justification for genocide and seizure of Gaza after all that preparation.

The confirmed evidence I can ferret out supports your contention completely, and all the contrary claims turn out to be lies.
