Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reiterated his stance that only a political commission of inquiry into the events of October 7 should be conducted, claiming this is the preference of most Israelis despite contrary polling. Netanyahu emphasized that he has 'nothing to hide', noting his own cooperation with the state comptroller's investigation, while criticizing other former officials for not participating. He accused Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara of obstructing efforts to uncover the truth about October 7 by halting inquiries led by the state comptroller and the investigation into the military advocate general. Recent legal interventions have paused the comptroller's inquiry following concerns about its procedures. Netanyahu also dismissed ongoing investigations into leaked classified information and the Qatargate affair, alleging that these probes are politically motivated attempts to unseat his government.
