The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has rejected calls for an immediate independent inquiry into the security failures that allowed the deadliest attack in his country’s history.
Speaking to Israel’s parliament, Netanyahu told lawmakers: “First, I want to beat Hamas.”

The Israeli defence minister, Yoav Gallant, had last week called for the formation of a state-commission inquiry for the 7 October attacks.
“I don’t want the vulnerabilities fixed, I want to be able to punish women and children!”
This man is happy to let the nation burn to the ground, and pour extra fuel on top, so long as he stays in power.
Seems to be a lot of that going around these days.
Seems like an awful lot of his people and colleagues are complicit to his goals too.
Isn’t that how it usually goes?

“The chief obstacle,” Kean and Hamilton wrote, “was the White House.”

no surprise there. that things smells like iran/contra october surprise.
Every single person on the planet is going to die in a nuclear+climate holocaust and future civilizations will correctly conclude that it was Israel’s fault.
Bold of you to assume that our hunter gatherer descendants will even know what an Israel was.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has rejected calls for an immediate independent inquiry into the security failures that allowed the deadliest attack in his country’s history.
The meeting marks the highest-level acknowledgment of the Israeli military’s failure to listen to the lookout unit in Nahal Oz, where dozens of soldiers were killed and others taken hostage on the 7 October, part of a unprecedented attack by Hamas and other militants on towns and kibbutzim around the Gaza Strip.
Last week, a leading member of Israel’s Shin Bet security agency known only by the initial “Aleph” resigned, reportedly saying in his farewell speech he was leaving amid deep disappointment that his department had failed to avert the attack.
The Israel Defense Forces’ intelligence chief, Maj Gen Aharon Haliva, resigned in April, making him the highest-ranking official to step down over the attack.
Despite protests calling on him to resign, as well as demands from a wide spectrum of Israeli society that he apologise for the security failures of 7 October, Netanyahu has strenuously resisted.
“The prime minister has been very forthright about the failures that led to 7 October,” said David Mencer, a spokesperson for Netanyahu, when asked why the PM had declined to apologise.
