Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking in the Knesset, accused the opposition of blocking the formation of a commission to investigate the failures leading up to the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. Netanyahu, who has resisted calls for an independent state commission, argued that such a panel would be biased against him due to its members being selected by Supreme Court President Isaac Amit. He instead proposed a commission with members chosen equally by the government and the opposition, granting them broad investigative powers. Critics argue that Netanyahu's proposal would result in a politicized commission unlikely to reach meaningful conclusions, as all members would be selected by politicians with vested interests.
