Channel 12 airs a survey showing that 79 percent of Israelis support a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 onslaught, while just 8% of Israelis are opposed to such a probe. Thirteen percent of respondents said they weren’t sure.

Even among voters of parties from the current coalition, 65% back a state commission of inquiry, while 15% oppose such a probe.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has opposed launching a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 attacks, arguing that such probes should only be launched after the war is over. Critics of the premier say he is seeking to avoid responsibility for what unfolded.
