First publication: Netanyahu's circle works to preserve the Likud inquiry committee law at the last moment

The Likud party is attempting at the last moment to preserve the law that would advance a coalition-appointed commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre, after MK Ariel Kallner, who promoted the bill, lost in the Likud primaries. Prime Minister Netanyahu wants to maintain the option to advance it quickly after the elections, and is currently examining whether another MK can be added to the bill. This comes after nearly three years without progress on investigating the massacre.

The Likud party is attempting at the last moment to preserve the law that would advance a coalition-appointed commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre, as reported this evening (Thursday) by Knesset correspondent Amiel Yerachi on the "Main Edition" program. After MK Ariel Kallner, who promoted that commission of inquiry, lost in the Likud primaries, it will not be possible to continue the expedited process. Prime Minister Netanyahu wants to preserve the option to advance it quickly after the elections, and therefore they are currently examining whether another MK can be added to that bill. This comes after for nearly three years the investigation of the massacre was not advanced. Only this week, the Attorney General recommended that the next government should establish the commission of inquiry.
