Politicians react to gov't decision not to form Oct. 7 probe

On Tuesday, the Israeli cabinet chose to delay establishing an official investigative panel to examine the October 7 massacre, while simultaneously stepping up military actions in Gaza.
The cabinet justified the delay by prioritizing ongoing Gaza operations and plans to draft special legislation for a future commission representating diverse views.
The military approved expanding ground operations after seven hours of Security Cabinet deliberations, alongside a managed aid plan to prevent Hamas from seizing supplies.
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara urged prompt action, stating a commission is the proper mechanism, while opposition leader Yair Lapid warned the massacre risks repeating without it.
The delay triggered criticism from politicians and victim families who see the deferral as harming security and evading accountability amid escalating conflict conditions.
