Eliad Shraga, representing the Movement for Quality Government in Israel, sharply criticized the Attorney General's recent position submitted to the Supreme Court regarding the establishment of a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre. The Attorney General argued that due to the proximity of upcoming elections, the decision to form the commission should be deferred to the next government, which may only be formed months later. Shraga strongly rejected this stance, emphasizing that delaying the inquiry risks damaging the investigation and obstructs uncovering the truth about the severe failure on October 7, one of Israel's gravest national disasters. He stressed that truth and accountability cannot wait for the political calendar and urged the Supreme Court to end the delay and order the immediate formation of the commission.
The Attorney General reiterated that a state commission is the appropriate legal mechanism to examine the events of October 7 and the ensuing war but maintained that the decision should be left to the incoming government. She also proposed that if the court agrees, the state could submit an updated position shortly after the new government is established. The Movement for Quality Government's response highlights the tension between legal procedural timing and the urgent public demand for transparency and accountability regarding the October 7 tragedy.
