National Unity chairman Benny Gantz slams the government’s decision to postpone a decision on establishing a state commission of inquiry into the failures surrounding Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack.
“The idea of not establishing a state commission of inquiry into the greatest disaster since the Holocaust is a sign of complete disconnection. It is unbelievable,” Gantz tells reporters ahead of his party’s weekly faction meeting in the Knesset.
On Sunday evening, the cabinet discussed forming such a commission, and ultimately postponed a decision on the matter, according to leaks carried by Hebrew media.
