Opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot has committed to establishing a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre, stating that he will do so in the first government meeting he leads, according to reports. The pledge reinforces his longstanding call for a judicial-led investigation, as an alternative to the coalition-backed political commission of inquiry bill.
Eisenkot has consistently called for a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre, as The Zioneer has reported. His latest statement, made on Wednesday, commits to establishing such a commission in the first cabinet meeting he would lead. The pledge aligns with similar commitments from other opposition leaders, including Naftali Bennett, Yair Lapid, and Avigdor Lieberman, who signed the October Council pledge to that effect. The coalition has advanced an alternative bill for a political commission of inquiry, which passed its first reading in the Knesset. The path to a state commission remains a central political issue.
