As Netanyahu visits Nir Oz, Gantz says ‘now the time’ for state inquiry into Oct. 7
Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s first visit to Kibbutz Nir Oz, 636 days after the community was devastated in Hamas’s October 7, 2023, terror atrocities, “is better late than never.”
“The decision to go is important and now the time has come to form a state commission of inquiry,” says Gantz, referring to the high-level investigative committee that Netanyahu has refused to commit to being formed to probe the failures surrounding October 7.
