There is no need to establish a commission of inquiry in order to determine responsibility for the disaster on October 7, 2023. In the summaries he submitted to the commission of inquiry regarding the Mount Miron disaster, to which was attached a legal opinion by Prof. Ariel Bandor, Netanyahu explicitly stated that he is directly responsible for the greatest disaster the State of Israel has known since the Holocaust.
I asked to check if there was anything in the material that Netanyahu submitted to the committee that could be attributed to the events of October 7th.
In his testimony before the investigative committee, Netanyahu claimed that no one "pulled the lapel of his garment" and warned of the deficiencies.
The committee determined that there was no need to pull the lapel of the garment because "the writing was on the wall."
It was political interests that led the decision makers and Netanyahu at the head to ignore this address.
To the best of my recollection, this is the first time that a state investigative committee has determined that a decision that led to the tragic death of 45 people was made for political reasons.
In the legal opinion submitted on behalf of Netanyahu, Prof. Bandor tried to focus the prime minister's responsibilities on national security matters by stating that "
the role of the prime minister - in fact: focus on national security
" (emphasis in the original - MG).
Bandor quotes a statement according to which "often these issues _security matters - M.G.) take over his agenda until his mind is not sufficiently free to deal with the rest of the state's affairs".
So busy with security, that "his mind is not free to take care of the rest of the other affairs of the state".

In his concluding remarks, Prof. Bandor writes that "responsibility for the disaster should not be attributed and it is inappropriate to attribute responsibility - both in the past and in the future to Prime Minister Netanyahu" and here the author quotes from the Supreme Court's ruling: "The Prime Minister bears a heavy responsibility for the safety and well-being of the citizens of Israel " (The emphasis is not in the original - M.G.).
Whereas, according to the usual rule in our places, "the message of a man like him", there is an explicit statement by Benjamin Netanyahu according to which, since he is preoccupied and completely occupied with security matters, he does not have the time and attention to deal with trivial matters and to make time to read the inscription on the wall in order to try and prevent the The tragic death of 45 people.
The innocent questioner will ask Netanyahu: Where were you on the evening of October 7?
From the things that are gradually becoming clear, it turns out that there were quite a few signs indicating the impending disaster.
The writing wasn't just on the wall.
It was an address from Ash.
Where was the man who, according to his belief, was entirely devoted to national security, when an entire country was completely despoiled and when parts of it were occupied by the enemy - something that has not happened in Israel since its founding?
When you put together the things that Netanyahu hurled at Ehud Olmert after the Second Lebanon War, and when you read the opinion that he attached to his summaries before the investigative committee, you can say that "a pit has been mined and it will be dug up and it will fall into the grass, it will work."

Netanyahu's "clothes lapel" was not pulled - but there was no need for that.

If Netanyahu ever appears before his investigators, in connection with the disaster on October 7, these should be the first pieces of evidence presented to him.
However, as mentioned, there is no need for an investigation in connection with the question of ultimate responsibility for the terrible disaster of the seventh of October, there is no need to wait years for the conclusions of an investigative committee.
The conclusions are written.
Netanyahu wrote them.
