Government to debate establishing inquiry committee into October 7 massacre


According to legal counsel, the decision to form such a commission is now urgent - more than two years after the outbreak of the war - because the passage of time undermines effective investigation and may impede the pursuit of truth. During a hearing held two weeks ago on a petition demanding the establishment of the commission, Justice Yechiel Kasher observed: “The government has decided not to establish a state commission of inquiry while the war continues, but rather to advance a different type of investigative committee.” Roughly six months ago - more than a year and a half after the massacre - the government reviewed the issue and concluded that, given the cabinet’s decision to expand military operations, “there is no place at this time to investigate the events of October 7.”
