Democrats chairman Yair Golan said at his party's list declaration event that the first decision his government would pass is the establishment of a state commission of inquiry, which he said Prime Minister Netanyahu and the current government fear and evade, according to Daphna Liel (N12).
Democrats party chairman Yair Golan reiterated his commitment to establishing a state commission of inquiry into the October 7, 2023, events, promising it would be the first act of his government. Speaking at the party's list declaration event Monday evening, Golan said the commission is the one that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the current coalition 'fear and evade like fire,' according to journalist Daphna Liel (N12).
Golan has previously called for a state commission of inquiry, arguing that it is the only way to provide the public and the families of the October 7 victims with the full truth. As The Zioneer reported on July 6, Golan responded to the passage of the bill for a political commission of inquiry by vowing that the families would receive the truth and that no whitewash committee could erase the disaster. The current government has advanced a bill for a political commission of inquiry, which critics argue lacks independence, while Golan and the opposition demand a full state commission.
The statement came as Golan presented his party's candidate list for the upcoming elections. The Democrats party, formed ahead of the 2026 elections, is positioning itself as the main opposition to the Netanyahu-led coalition.
