October 7 Commission of Inquiry

The High Court ruled that State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman exceeded his authority while investigating some issues related to the October 7 massacre.

The press conference was attended by bereaved families, hostage families, survivors, and representatives, who called on Israel's public to demand the establishment of a state commission of inquiry.

Gotliv was unimpressed by Amit Segal’s report on Netanyahu’s intention to cancel the Likud primaries, saying that he was "diminishing the leadership strength of the Prime Minister."

Eyal Eshel, father of an IDF observer killed at the Nahal Oz base, said the families had faced deep frustration over what he described as missing information from the defense establishment.

Previously, bereaved families had accused the government of attempting to whitewash failures and rewrite the narrative after it was announced in February that “massacre” had been removed.

“That attack on Diaspora Jewry does not serve us,” Chikli said. “I would not use the language of threats.”

The main point of contention, the poll found, is whether or not the judiciary should be involved in the inquiry committee. 

Bereaved families accused the government of attempting to whitewash government failures through the revision, as lawmakers resumed debates on the continuous government bill.

Civil Commission says Hamas and its collaborators weaponized bodies, families, and digital platforms during massacre and captivity.

In Israel’s next elections, voters will not reward the politicians who provide the most sophisticated excuses for October 7. They will choose whoever convinces them that lessons have been learned.
