What happened
- 01Israel has not established an October 7 commission of inquiry three years after the Hamas attack.
- 02Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised answers but has delayed the investigation, citing the war.
- 03Disagreements persist over who should select investigators for the commission.
- 04Opposition leaders pledge to establish a state commission of inquiry if they win the upcoming election.
- 05Former military and security officials have expressed support for an official investigation.
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.
