Zeman Emet opened a season last night with an attempt by the editors and journalist Avi Amit to hold a type of televised commission of inquiry into the October 7 attack. All in all, it is really a comprehensive document, which includes the important nodes in making the decisions to buy peace and not to eliminate Sinwar. But what does the event suffer from? From what almost the entire public broadcasting corporation suffers from: a strong narrative of an anti-Netanyahu position.
A televised investigative committee, where all streams flow to the man who flowed with all the security ranks in the country. In a supreme televised effort, the “investigation” reduces the heavy influence of the military echelon on the desire and motivation to launch an operation to eliminate Hamas, or to “inflame the Middle East”. It is enough to see MK Avigdor Lieberman waving a document recommending the elimination of Hamas, as if he had received backing for going to war for years with the prices of soldiers falling, and then MK Ofer Shelah criticizes as if he and the members of Yesh Atid supported going to that war.
For many minutes the mood is that one person should have decided differently, and too little is devoted to the unbearable ease with which on the evening of October 7, the most senior ranks of the security establishment did not realize the intention of thousands of terrorists to carry out their plan. It is likely that the phone calls of that night and the failure that led to the failure will form the core of the failure in any investigative committee that will examine the guilt and responsibility.
Still, new revelations in which it was revealed, for example, that the “Marches of Return” by Hamas were supposed to open the gate to the Nohva attacks add more pieces to the puzzle, stories surrounding those who conducted exactly the same security policy here as Bennett, Kochvi and Eisenkot are also important within the investigation.
The pretense of having an investigative committee that calls out a position reminded of the effort of “The Source” on Channel 13 to conduct the bribery trial in the Alif cases. We all know what that charge is worth today.
