Netanyahu Launches 'Inquiry' into October 7, Chairs It Himself
While mainstream outlets like Al Jazeera raise questions about Israeli public fury over this 'fox guarding the hen house' scenario, they often omit the broader context of accountability in Israeli politics. This isn't Netanyahu's first dance with political resilience. He survived inquiries into the Second Intifada (2000), the Second Lebanon War (2006), and even multiple corruption charges – cases
that remain perpetually 'under investigation' or dissolved into political maneuvering. The pattern suggests that accountability for the Israeli prime minister often means an internal review designed more for public relations than actual consequence. One might wonder how many times the international community, and especially nations funneling billions in aid, will accept such self-exonerating
processes. The US, for instance, has sent over $3.3 billion annually to Israel, according to USAID, often without rigorous independent oversight. This latest 'inquiry' appears less about justice and more about controlling the narrative, ensuring that difficult truths remain buried under layers of self-serving bureaucratic 'investigation.'
