Netanyahu's Rivals Want an October 7 Investigation. What Could It Reveal?

Описание: Israel's new parliament has received legislation to establish an independent investigation into the October 7, 2023 attacks. What could investigators discover about the intelligence warnings, security failures, and political decisions surrounding that day?

On November 10, 2026, Gadi Eisenkot's allies submitted a proposal for a state commission of inquiry. The move revives a dispute over who should appoint investigators, what powers they should have, and how independently they could examine senior officials.

What you'll learn:
What the proposed October 7 inquiry could investigate.

How Israel's Knesset could advance the proposal.
What remains unresolved and what happens next.
