Standing next to a sign featuring a 2022 quote by then opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu demanding a state commission of inquiry into allegations that police hacked the phones of private citizens, Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman demands the establishment of an official state probe into October 7.
Addressing reporters during his party’s weekly faction meeting in the Knesset, Liberman cites Netanyahu’s 2022 statement that “only a state commission of inquiry “can give the public clear answers to the key questions, and that “every day that passes without a state investigation committee increases the chances of obstructing an investigation, coordinating testimony, and concealing evidence.”
Liberman also demands that the government either arrest or kill 100 to 200 Hamas operatives holed up in a tunnel network on the Israeli-controlled side of the Yellow Line in southern Gaza’s Rafah, arguing that to free them would show that terror pays.
