Hadash-Ta’al MK Ahmad Tibi tells Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that his party supports a state commission of inquiry into October 7 but also demands “another state commission of inquiry — into crime in Arab society.”
“There have been 23 more murder victims this year than last year — as of yesterday,” he says, accusing the prime minister of failing to fulfill his promises to combat crime in the Arab sector.
Tibi’s speech comes during a so-called 40-signature debate in the Knesset to discuss the establishment of a state commission of inquiry into the failures surrounding Hamas’s onslaught of October 7, 2023.
“There’s an escalation, a strengthening of crime organizations, a state within a state, autonomy for criminal organizations,” he continues, asserting that Netanyahu bears “the highest degree of responsibility.”
