Minister Elkin says he won't vote for politically appointed Oct. 7 probe

Minister Ze'ev Elkin of the New Hope party has declared he will not support a bill establishing a politically appointed probe into the failures of October 7, instead backing a state commission of inquiry. Elkin made his stance clear during a conversation with bereaved father Rafi Ben Shitrit in the Knesset, emphasizing his opposition to the proposed legislation known as Kallner's law. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies have consistently rejected the idea of a state commission, citing concerns over the judiciary's influence, which they aim to reduce through ongoing reforms. Netanyahu has also stated that any probe should examine broader historical events, including the Oslo Accords, the Gaza Disengagement, and recent protests against judicial changes.
