An independent commission has released a scathing report blaming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and top military commanders for the failures that led to the deadly Hamas-led raid on Oct. 7, 2023. The report criticizes the government's decision to fund Hamas, reduce troops stationed along the Gaza border, and prioritize signal intelligence over human and visual monitoring. The commission's findings highlight the frustration felt by many Israelis at the government's refusal to hold itself accountable. The inquiry, led by former senior officials, has no legal weight but calls for the government to establish its own inquiry.
