As October 7 approaches, Israel remains divided over accountability and failure

As October 7 approaches, Israel remains divided over issues of accountability and failure. A recent survey by INSS found that 75 percent of respondents support a state commission of inquiry into October 7, including 52 percent of coalition voters. According to an INSS researcher, the military's current security posture is not sustainable over time.

The issue of security has become a major concern for politicians in Israel, particularly with elections fast approaching. There have been claims that the UAE warned Israel of an imminent Hamas attack in the weeks before October 7, but a UAE official source has responded to these claims, stating that security matters are discussed through relevant entities and not at the level of national leaders.

The UAE's response was reported by The National UAE and The National Business. There is no further information on the Israeli government's response to the INSS survey or the proposed commission of inquiry.
