Knesset approves preliminary reading of commission of inquiry into October 7 events
The Israeli Knesset's General Assembly approved a bill to establish a parliamentary investigation committee into the events of October 7 and the war on Gaza, amid the opposition's boycott, which demands an official and independent investigation committee. The law grants the ruling coalition and the parliament a significant role in appointing the committee members, raising concerns about the politicization of the investigation. It also requires at least one qualified judge to be among the members. The committee is composed of six members and is permitted to operate even without the participation of the opposition, which has fueled criticism of its lack of independence—especially since the law grants it the authority to continue working even if opposition deputies are absent. The purpose of the bill is to activate the "Continuity Law" to proceed with the legislative process, although the opposition considers it an attempt to politicize the investigation and conceal those responsible for the October 7 events.
