The Knesset vote on a bill to establish a political commission of inquiry into the October 7, 2023 massacre has begun, with the opposition boycotting the vote, according to journalist Dvir Jabareen (N12).
The Knesset plenum is now voting on a bill to establish a political commission of inquiry into the October 7, 2023 attack. Opposition lawmakers are boycotting the vote, journalist Dvir Jabareen (N12) reported Monday evening. The bill, advanced by coalition members, has been criticized by the opposition as a political tool rather than a neutral investigative body. The Zioneer previously reported on the bill's expected advancement to first reading on June 13, and on the Constitution Committee's vote to proceed with the legislation on June 7 despite renewed fighting. The commission's proposed composition and mandate remain the subject of political dispute; the bill requires majority support to pass its preliminary reading tonight.
