Attorney Michael Kleiner suggests that the current government should establish a state commission of inquiry into the October 7th disaster, composed of all Supreme Court justices. He argues that voting in elections is a fundamental act for citizens, allowing them to choose leaders or punish those responsible for failures. Kleiner presents twelve potential areas for the commission to investigate, including the responsibility for the October 7th massacre and the government's response to the Iranian nuclear program.
Kleiner critically examines various perspectives on the failures leading up to October 7th. He questions the idea that responsibility lies solely with tactical intelligence failures or the actions of a single individual, suggesting that broader systemic issues and leadership decisions should be scrutinized. He contrasts the current situation with the Vinograd Commission, which, despite not being a state commission, provided a thorough analysis and lessons learned from the Second Lebanon War.
He proposes that the commission's mandate should begin on the night of October 6th and conclude on the day the hostages are returned. Kleiner notes that many government supporters favor a state commission, even with justices appointed by the Supreme Court president, due to confidence in the commission's conclusions. The article also touches upon the perceived success of the current government in neutralizing significant threats from Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, and Iran, transforming areas previously used for military purposes into ruins.
