At a Knesset Constitution Committee oversight hearing, officials said hundreds of suspected October 7 attackers held in Israeli prisons have not been questioned, beyond about 400 who have been investigated. Estimates cited at the hearing put the filing of indictments as late as 2028.
The hearing addressed implementation of the law to prosecute terrorists who took part in the October 7 massacre. According to the report, participants discussed preparations for a facility, appointing judges, recruiting staff, advancing investigations with Israel Police and developing a national public-information plan. MK Yulia Malinovsky of Yisrael Beiteinu, who initiated the law with MK Simcha Rothman, said families deserve answers and called on officials to set aside personal disputes.
In separate earlier reports, The Zioneer reported on June 23 that Malinovsky said the coalition was delaying final budget approval for the prosecutions. On June 9, The Zioneer reported that the Constitution Committee had approved a bill for a political commission of inquiry into October 7 for its first reading.
