The "change bloc" in the Knesset must leverage its majority to establish a state commission of inquiry into the October 7th massacre and to appoint a State Comptroller, according to the article's author. The author criticizes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's alleged insistence on avoiding a state commission, suggesting it was to prevent the exposure of findings that could not be covered up.
