A bill establishing a national commission of inquiry is expected to go to its first Knesset reading as early as Monday, according to journalist Moti Kastel. The legislation, advanced by the Constitution Committee, represents the political track separate from a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre.
The bill for a national commission of inquiry is slated for its first Knesset reading on Monday, July 6, journalist Moti Kastel reports. This is the same legislative track The Zioneer has been following: on Tuesday, June 9, the Constitution Committee approved the bill for a first reading, a decision that The Zioneer reported at the time. The legislation creates a political commission of inquiry, separate from a state commission of inquiry into the October 7, 2023 massacre. The opposition has already announced it will refuse to name its three members to the six-member panel, a move that would effectively give Prime Minister Netanyahu control over the commission's composition, as The Zioneer reported on June 9. The first reading vote will test coalition discipline and likely face opposition objections. The bill's exact text and the schedule for subsequent readings have not been published.
