Nope. The US was never involved.
Based on my historic knowledge, when the Islamic charity precursor to Hamas began, it was turned a blind eye to, because it was assume that Islamists are not nationalist and this will reduce the support for terrorism against Israel. There were people who warned of this, but they were largely ignored. Obviously once they became involved in armed struggle, the blind eye policy was stopped.
I will say that in the recent decade, it's strongly suspected Bibi saw the continued existence of Hamas in Gaza as a counterweight to Abu Mazen, that would guarantee no coming back to the peace talks (which Bibi is against since he considers any Palestinian state as a threat to Israel). He is criticized for this now. Israel also agreed to money transfers from Qatar hoping that the economic incentive will keep Hamas in check since they need to pay salaries.

This is also strongly suggests that the number of casualties (500 dead) is incredibly inflated. The size of the wreckage and fire simply doesn't add up. It takes days, not hours, to evacuate and identify 500 bodies.
