Nearly 1,000 people impacted by Hamas's October 7 attack in Israel have signed a public letter demanding a state commission of inquiry into the failures that led to the disaster. The letter, spearheaded by the October Council group, includes survivors, bereaved families, and wounded IDF soldiers. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition have resisted the idea, claiming bias and suggesting the probe should wait until after the war. The government has been criticized for attempting to overhaul the justice system, and a state commission of inquiry is seen as the primary tool for investigating major failures.
