Israeli Interior Minister Moshe Arbel recently voiced his disagreement with a civilian investigation probe into events on October 7, advocating instead for a state investigation. Arbel expressed his stance in a letter to the government’s legal advisor, stating that the laws governing investigative committees do not apply to civilian commissions.
Arbel emphasized the need for a state investigative committee to be established promptly, asserting, “In my personal opinion, a state investigative committee should be established as soon as possible.” His call for a state-led inquiry signifies the importance of a comprehensive and official investigation into the matter.
