Deep Dive: State Commission of Inquiry into October 7th; Thu Dec. 25, 2025

Today we take a deep dive into the growing political and legal battle over how Israel should investigate the failures surrounding the October 7th massacre. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is backing legislation that would create a new, politically appointed commission of inquiry — one selected by the Knesset rather than the Supreme Court — and says it will allow for a broader, more trusted review. Critics warn the move risks politicizing the investigation and shielding the government from accountability. With a preliminary Knesset vote approaching, the debate is intensifying and public pressure is mounting.

To help us understand what’s new and understand what’s at stake, we’re joined by our legal analyst Benyamin Moalem.
