Defense Minister Benny Gantz appeals to Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit to give his legal opinion on the feasibility of forming a state commission of inquiry under the transitional government.

“There is an urgency in forming a committee quickly so that it can carry out a preliminary probe while information is readily available,” he writes to him.

He adds that “only a state commission will be able to manage all aspects of an investigation into the disaster.”

Such a panel “will not bring families back their loved ones or help their pain, but it can prevent such a disaster from happening in the future,” he says.”
