Ex-Hostage Accuses Netanyahu of Blocking Oct. 7 Inquiry for Political Gain

Former Hamas hostage Gadi Moses accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of opposing a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre for political reasons. Moses, who was held for 482 days, also criticized the security situation in his kibbutz and Netanyahu's role in societal divisions. No state commission has been formed nearly three years after the massacre, with opposition parties promising to establish one if elected. Moses called for a more empathetic national conversation about the trauma of October 7.
