JERUSALEM: The Israeli parliament approved a bill in its first reading on Monday to set up a commission of inquiry into the security failings that led to the Hamas raids on Oct 7, 2023.
“The purpose of the proposed law is to bring about a full, thorough, and independent investigation of the events of the... Oct 7 massacre”, an explanatory note to the bill said.
The bill passed its first reading in the Knesset, Israel’s 120-seat parliament, with 59 votes in favour and none against or abstaining.
Opposition lawmakers, who want a different kind of commission not appointed by politicians, boycotted the vote.
