Prime Minister Netanyahu rejects forming a formal state inquiry into October 7 Hamas attack failures despite Supreme Court pressure and opposition demands.
- On Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Knesset he will not establish a state commission of inquiry into Oct. 7 failures, calling it politically biased during the opposition-initiated debate.
- A panel of military experts found the IDF misinterpreted intelligence warnings from October 6-7, highlighting systemic and organizational failures.
- A panel reviewing 25 internal IDF investigations found wide variation in quality and reported the army's chain of command collapsed amid roughly 5,000 terrorists from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
- Families from the October Council protested in the Knesset and urged Israelis to join Saturday's rally in Tel Aviv, as the High Court set a November 14 deadline for government update.
