Former prime minister Naftali Bennett slams Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for seeking to establish a “fake commission,” after the premier tells lawmakers that he wants to “establish a commission of inquiry based on broad agreement” to probe the failures of October 7, rather than a traditional state commission of inquiry.
The families of the fallen “deserve answers about this enormous failure,” he declares in a statement. “I now hear that the government wants to establish a kind of fake commission whose members it appoints — even though this same government bears immense responsibility for this disaster.
“Therefore, I say here as clearly as possible: On the first day of the government that we will form, we will cancel any circus committee that is established, and we will create a state commission of inquiry to investigate the failure of the October 7 massacre,” Bennett adds.
