Energy Minister Eli Cohen was interviewed on the 103FM program and was asked about the possibility of postponing the elections. His answer was not decisive, leaving room for speculation. Cohen backed Defense Minister Israel Katz's determination that the incident on the Flydubai plane was a terror attack, based on intelligence information from the Military Intelligence Directorate and the Mossad. According to him, the full picture is not yet clear, but he views the incident as terrorism. Regarding the October 7th commission of inquiry, Cohen said the government acted correctly by not establishing a committee close to the outbreak of the war due to the high intensity of fighting, but now there is room to move forward. He estimated that after the elections a committee agreed upon by all parts of the public will be established, while criticizing the possibility that a committee appointed by the Supreme Court would be perceived as biased by the right.
