The Knesset State Control Committee has rejected a proposal to establish a state commission of inquiry into the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack, blocking efforts for an official investigation into the failures surrounding the incident. Coalition members from the ruling parties voted against the motion, while opposition lawmakers and bereaved families expressed outrage, accusing the government of avoiding responsibility and 'burying the truth.' The proposal's defeat has intensified calls from opposition members and victims' families for a thorough and impartial investigation, with many warning that public trust will continue to erode without accountability. Despite public support for a commission, the government is considering appointing its own panel, a move critics say would lack impartiality and transparency.
