Chief of Staff Major General Herzi Halevi is reconsidering appointing Major General Shaul Mofaz to chair an external committee that will investigate the events leading up to October 7. Halevi caused an uproar in the political and Israeli system after he promoted a decision to establish a committee headed by a former Chief of Staff.

The top of the army did not like the decision to investigate the IDF during the war, sources claim. The IDF denies these things and says its main purpose is learning.
