Attorney General Asks High Court to Leave Oct. 7 Inquiry Decision to Next Government

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara told the High Court of Justice on Wednesday that the decision on a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre should be left to the next government. She cited the restraint expected of a caretaker government during an election period, and proposed updating the court once the next government is constituted. Baharav-Miara reiterated that a state commission is the appropriate instrument for examining the failure, and warned that delay could harm its effectiveness and cause evidentiary damage. Her position aligns her with the justices who proposed waiting and with the government, which asked the court not to intervene.
