Lawmakers advance bill to establish politically appointed Oct. 7 probe in place of state inquiry

The Ministerial Committee for Legislation has endorsed a bill put forward by a member of the ruling party to establish a government-appointed committee to investigate the failures surrounding the events of October 7, 2023. This move would replace an independent state commission of inquiry, which is favored by most of the public but opposed by the government. The proposed committee would be selected by a supermajority in the parliament, with provisions for opposition and coalition involvement, as well as representation for bereaved families. Critics, including the attorney general, have condemned the bill as serving the personal interests of the government and questioned its legal basis, while concerns remain that the coalition could ultimately control the process if the opposition boycotts.
