Former Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz has criticised PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s refusal to form a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 Hamas attacks.

“I am waiting for the state commission of inquiry to be established and for the protocols to be revealed in order to draw lessons from the greatest disaster in our history and for a better future for the State of Israel,” he said on X.

Netanyahu also lashed out at Gantz on X, accusing him of spreading “fake news”.

“The public will find out who was looking for excuses to ‘stop the fighting for a year or two’ and who really pushed forward to continue the war until victory,” the prime minister said.
