President Isaac Herzog expressed his support for the establishment of a state commission of inquiry into Hamas's October 7 massacre, placing himself at odds with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Herzog believes now is the time to establish the inquiry after almost a year has passed since the incident. He acknowledged the debate over whether the probe should be run by an independent state panel or by a committee selected by the government. Netanyahu has insisted probes into October 7 failures need to wait until the end of the war and has refused to commit to a state commission of inquiry.
