In a video statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a government decision to establish a commission of inquiry into the October 7 attack, composed "of experts in security, academia, law, and also bereaved parents who will serve as observers", assuring the public that it would not be subject to political influence. Polls show more than 70 percent of Israelis want a state commission of inquiry independent of the government, like those set up in the past to investigate major state-level failings. #israel #netanyahu #gaza
