Opposition leaders demand criminal probe into Netanyahu, state commission of inquiry over Oct. 7
Gadi Eisenkot and Yair Lapid accused Netanyahu of evading responsibility for October 7, citing prewar warnings and renewing calls for a State Commission of Inquiry.
Former IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yeshat party, harshly criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party on the third anniversary of the October 7 massacre. In response to a Likud statement posted on Netanyahu's X/Twitter account, where the prime minister denied receiving advance warnings about the attack, Eisenkot called Netanyahu a liar who is trying to evade responsibility for the disaster.
Eisenkot demanded that Attorney General Gali Sharon immediately open a criminal investigation into anyone who falsified documents and disrupted testimony, and called for the creation of a State Commission of Inquiry to be the first order of business if Eisenkot were to become prime minister.
