Israel Still Awaits Oct. 7 Inquiry Amid Political Disputes
Summarized from Ynetnews by baba
Three years after the October 7 Hamas attack, Israel has not established a commission of inquiry into the failures, despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's repeated promises. Netanyahu, the only senior official from that day who has not supported an investigation, has delayed its formation, citing the need to complete the war and proposing alternative models like a politically balanced panel. Opposition leaders insist on an independent state commission, and the dispute over who will select investigators has become a major election issue ahead of the October 27 vote. Precedents exist for swift establishment of inquiry commissions by previous governments.
