Avraham Hasson reported on Channel 14 that the outline, which Eisenkot is set to present, focuses on the decade preceding the October 7 massacre, with the 2005 disengagement defined as background only. Under the proposal, the President of the Supreme Court would appoint the commission's chair and members.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the legislative efforts to establish a national commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre, which passed its first reading in the Knesset in July. Former IDF Chief of Staff and opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot has publicly called for a state commission of inquiry, arguing that only an independent judicial body can provide a full truth-seeking process. His new outline, revealed Wednesday morning by Channel 14 reporter Avraham Hasson, proposes that the President of the Supreme Court appoint the commission's chair and members. The scope of the investigation would cover the decade before the massacre, with the 2005 disengagement from Gaza treated as background context rather than a direct subject of the probe. The proposal is expected to be presented formally by Eisenkot in the coming days.
