A second failure? Israel's delay of an October 7 investigation is unacceptable – editorial

The failures of October 7 were not limited to one unit, a command post, an intelligence assessment, the border fence, or a ministerial decision.

🗞️ In-depth summary

The Jerusalem Post editorial argues that Israel's delay in establishing a comprehensive investigation into the October 7 Hamas massacre is "unacceptable." New documents revealing Hamas's extensive planning, including a potential invasion force of up to 10,000 fighters, highlight the scale of Israel's intelligence and defense failures. The article states, "October 7 was the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust." Despite various internal military and state comptroller inquiries, a full national accounting has been postponed, blurring responsibility. The editorial calls for an independent state commission of inquiry, emphasizing that the failures were widespread, encompassing intelligence, political policy, military deployment, and border defense. It asserts that such a commission is a "basic obligation of the state to its citizens" to establish facts, identify failures, assign responsibility, and prevent future disasters. The editorial concludes that if a state commission is not established before the upcoming elections, it must be the first act of the next government.
