Israeli officials accuse Netanyahu of orchestrating October 7 while Trump urges President Herzog to grant him a pardon

by

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday rejected opposition calls to establish a state commission of inquiry into the failures surrounding Hamas’s onslaught of October 7, 2023, once again claiming that many in the Israeli public would not accept it, as opposition figures accused him of trying to escape accountability.

The comments came during a so-called 40-signature debate in the Knesset to discuss the issue, which the prime minister is legally obliged to attend. The opposition can call for such discussions once a month, usually to discuss criticism of the government, its policies, and its legislative agenda.

Instead of a state commission, Netanyahu said his government “wants to establish a commission of inquiry with as broad public support as possible,” and not one rejected by what he claimed is “at least half the country.”
