Kariv Calls for Separate Inquiry Into Qatar Ties

MK Gilad Kariv called on November 12 for a separate commission of inquiry into ties with Qatar’s government. In a post summarizing remarks from a podcast interview that day, he said the additional investigation should follow the establishment of a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre. “We will demand another commission of inquiry, to investigate ties with the Qatari government,” Kariv said. He identified Barak Seri and Yehuda Schlesinger as his interviewers. A day earlier, on November 11, Kariv had outlined a legislative agenda that included establishing a state inquiry. In a separate post about his remarks to Maya Rachlin that evening, he also pledged to repeal the judicial overhaul laws and advance legislation limiting prime ministers’ terms and the legislation known as the defendant law. Gadi Eisenkot also advocated a state inquiry in a November 11 statement. He said that, over three years, almost every bereaved family and captivity survivor he had met had asked him to do everything possible to establish one. Eisenkot called for a professional commission under the law to provide answers to Israelis and draw lessons to prevent another disaster.
