A-G proposes delaying Oct. 7 inquiry decision as government 'hasn't established one anyway'
Baharav-Miara said the election period would get in the way of a decision and noted that the current government had not established one anyway.
Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara has proposed delaying the decision on creating a commission of inquiry into the October 7 Massacre until a new government is formed. The proposed delay stems from the belief that the election period would interfere with the decision-making process. Attorneys for the Movement for Quality Government criticized this move, arguing that it is impossible to determine a state commission's necessity to uncover the truth, and that the delay could already be causing harm to the investigation.
They also pointed out that the next government may not be formed for months or even up to three years after the October 7 disaster, making the truth more difficult to uncover over time. The government had previously informed the High Court of Justice that they were unable to complete legislation establishing a proposed commission due to Knesset scheduling constraints, planning to revive the proposal after the October 27 election.
The public's support for forming such a commission stands at 63%, with the majority of both Jewish (62%) and Arab (67%) sectors in agreement.
