Netanyahu to Oversee Inquiry into His Own Failures, Citing 'Ceasefire'
Mainstream media reports Benjamin Netanyahu's government will 'investigate' the October 7th failures, but there's a catch: Netanyahu himself will oversee the inquiry, making it a government committee, not an independent state commission. This isn't just 'outrage in Israel'; it's a textbook move from a leader notorious for sidestepping accountability. Remember, this is the same Netanyahu who,
during previous conflicts and inquiries (like the 2002 'Defensive Shield' operation or the 2006 Lebanon War fallout), consistently resisted independent probes until forced, often delaying or watering them down. His current timeline? An investigation launched only after an 'Oct. 10th ceasefire'—a ceasefire that never truly materialized—and details to be announced in 45 days. Convenient, isn't it?
So, the government that failed to prevent October 7th will now 'probe' those failures. Critics, like Israel’s Movement for Quality Government, rightly label it a 'cover-up commission.' How many times does an administration get to investigate its own catastrophic omissions before the public realizes it's just theater? This isn't about uncovering the truth; it's about managing the narrative,
ensuring the findings are as politically palatable as they are inconsequential.
