Netanyahu aims to head panel shaping mandate of October 7 inquiry, officials say
Ministers are weighing how far back the investigation should reach, whether to issue personal findings and whether to examine factors like protest movement and High Court rulings
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is preparing to convene the first meeting of the ministerial committee tasked with defining the mandate of a government-appointed inquiry into the Oct. 7 failures, despite Justice Minister Yariv Levin being named to lead the forum three weeks ago.
Levin told Netanyahu at the time that he did not want to chair the committee and asked to be replaced — a request that, according to officials familiar with the matter, stemmed in part from ongoing tensions between the two. Netanyahu initially declined, but advisers now urge him either to lead the panel himself or appoint a close ally to do so.
Given the political sensitivity, Netanyahu’s aides are pushing for several rapid meetings of the committee while legislation establishing the inquiry moves forward in the Knesset. Likud MK Ariel Kallner is expected to submit the bill in the coming days.
