Justice Minister Yariv Levin tells the Makor Rishon daily that the most profound policy failures leading to Hamas’s October 7, 2023, onslaught were the 1993 Oslo Accords and the 2005 disengagement from Gaza.

“It is the basis for the whole thing. But of course, decisions at the political echelon for years, including this government, also impacted the final result,” he says.

“Without a doubt, throughout these years, everyone who has held key positions over the years has a responsibility. I also think that there is a need here for a real investigation, but by a commission of inquiry or investigator that everyone has faith in,” he adds, rejecting a panel that has any connection with “extremist” anti-government protests in Tel Aviv’s Kaplan Street.
