Hamas toppled the legitimate government of Gaza in 2007. Their ministry is running hospitals built by Indonesia, Jordan, UAE amd yes, Israel. Their schools are financed by UNRWA. Their infrastructure has always been subpar because they stole billions of dollars in international aid and spent the money on rockets and tunnels that the civilians are forbidden to use even as shelters. Their social organizing is radical Islam, and they brutally suppress Gaza's traditional social structures based on local clan-based institutions.

The framework that provides security for both sides doesn't need Hamas. In fact, Hamas is what stands in the way of security in Gaza.

And the whole world knows this. This is why Hamas has been designated a terrorist organization by an overwhelming majority of world's countries.

Nobody needs Hamas. Any suggestion to the contrary is ridiculous.
