Former hostages to Netanyahu: Establish Oct. 7 state inquiry commission or resign
On the 800th day since the October 7 massacre, around 200 former hostages and family members of captives issued a call on Sunday urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to establish a state commission of inquiry or step down.
The statement said such a commission is “the only tool capable of investigating without fear, bias or limitations the entire chain of failures that preceded the day of the disaster, those that occurred during it, and all decision-making processes regarding the hostages and the conduct of the war.”
It added that the commission must examine all aspects of that day, including the collapse of defense and intelligence systems, unanswered calls for help, the abandonment of border communities for long hours, and the failure to protect civilians and soldiers amid the devastation inside Israel.
