Israel's top court orders government to explain lack of state inquiry into October 7 attacks
Israel's High Court on Wednesday ordered the government to explain why it has not formed a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 attacks, Haaretz reported.
The order came follows multiple petitions arguing for an independent state commission after the government's decision to set up its own ministerial investigative panel on Sunday, which hs drawn criticism about whether the Israeli government is trying to cover up errors it made.
In addition, the non-state inquiry would have limited authority,
The court gave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,and Justice Minister Yariv Levin until 4 January to submit their responses.
