The Israeli cabinet has resolved to postpone the establishment of a state commission of inquiry into the circumstances that enabled the October 7th massacre, opting to delay action despite Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara’s insistence that an immediate decision was needed.
In a formal communication addressed to the Prime Minister and other ministers, Baharav-Miara emphasized that “a state commission of inquiry is the proper mechanism considering the issues discussed, the commission’s authority, and its expertise.”
Nevertheless, the cabinet dismissed the recommendation, citing the current military escalation in Gaza as justification for holding off on a probe. “Now is not the time to investigate,” the ministers concluded in their decision.
