Yisrael Beiteinu chairman MK Avigdor Liberman said the political commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre is a cover-up designed to sabotage the truth, according to N12's Daphna Liel.
Yisrael Beiteinu chairman MK Avigdor Liberman called the proposed political commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre a cover-up aimed at sabotaging the search for truth, as reported by Channel 12's Daphna Liel on Monday evening.
Liberman's statement adds to growing opposition criticism of the government-backed bill, which would establish a political rather than a state commission of inquiry. Earlier Monday, Yesh Atid chairman Gadi Eisenkot described the same panel as a cover-up engineered by Prime Minister Netanyahu out of fear of the truth, as The Zioneer previously reported. Bennett, chairman of the New Right, similarly accused Netanyahu of politicizing the committee's appointments last week.
Liberman's remarks align with the unified opposition stance that a state commission of inquiry, with independent investigative powers, is necessary to fully probe the October 7 events and their institutional failures. The bill is expected to face further legislative hurdles.
