National Unity party leader Benny Gantz criticizes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over reports he seeks to form a “special committee” to investigate the failures of Oct. 7, 2023, rather than a state commission of inquiry.

“The worst disaster we faced since Israel’s founding cannot end with a window-dressing committee, and no in any other format that seeks to evade responsibility,” he writes on X.

“Netanyahu, enough with the inventions and evasions. As the person at the top, it is your moral duty to the murdered, the fallen, the bereaved families, the wounded, the hostages, and the entire nation to establish a state commission of inquiry.”
