Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refuses to set up a national commission of inquiry that would look into the most serious failure and disaster in the country’s history. Justice Minister Yariv Levin is preventing the appointment of Justice Isaac Amit as the Supreme Court’s president by the customary seniority system.
The head of the National Security Council, Tzachi Hanegbi, defines the October 7 disaster as a “mishap,” determining that “Netanyahu will go down in history as the person who managed to fortify Israel and turn it into a superpower, to bring it to the forefront of the world stage in endless ways. There are always slip-ups, and the question of his role in October 7 will be looked at.”
At TV Channel 13, a politician affiliated with Netanyahu was appointed chief editor, with the critical (and successful) program presented by journalist Raviv Drucker canceled forthwith. Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi is advancing a bill which will allow the budget of the public broadcaster to be slashed, with the new law serving as a whip that would deter its managers.
Netanyahu is working on granting a draft exemption to ultra-Orthodox men, while at the same time extending the time served by conscripts who have been in combat almost continuously for almost 10 months. At Bibi-ist channels, and around the cabinet table, there are constant attacks on the army’s chief of staff and the attorney general, with accusations against the organization of army reservists called Brothers and Sisters in Arms, claiming that it is responsible for the failure that enabled the Hamas attack.
All these events are inextricably linked, with the goal being to keep Netanyahu in power at any cost. From there he wishes to manage his trial; from there he manages the battle over the narrative regarding responsibility and blame for the terrible calamity.
The costs are heavy: They include the weakening of the justice system, a hostile takeover of the police by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, intimidation of critical journalists and avoidance of investigating the most severe failure and disaster ever to befall this country. He wants to drive the public, most of which wants him replaced, to despair. He is causing the best people to flee while attempting to quell any attempt by his party members to resist his overarching mission.
That is why he dispatches lawmakers and cabinet members to assail Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who is unwilling to toe the line on drafting Haredi men, hoping that the threat of dismissal will deter other Knesset members from showing some independence.
The magnitude of the disaster is compatible with that of Netanyahu’s evasion of responsibility and the urgent need to investigate and examine how 1,500 civilians and soldiers lost their lives, with 251 more kidnapped to Gaza. The formula he laid down, whereby no commission of inquiry will be set up as long as the war continues, is a blatant conflict of interest. What interest does he have in ending the war? How can one believe he is acting with integrity and without personal considerations while navigating reality according to his own personal interests?
His calls for “unity” – as he constantly works toward weakening the country’s institutions, extending the period of mandatory military service for combatants while exempting the ultra-Orthodox from being conscripted, playing the victim while complaining of incitement against himself while acquiescing to the toxic apparatus attacking army and justice system leaders – are all a cynical, pathetic demonstration by a prime minister who has nothing to sell other than lies and scare-mongering.
While until October 7 Netanyahu clung to power based on his legal woes, since then he has been clinging to it more forcefully to fight for the narrative. Badmouthing army brass and pointing an accusing finger at Brothers and Sisters in Arms serves this purpose. These attempts are doomed to fail.
Even if he transforms Israel into a dictatorship, no one will take on his responsibility for funding Hamas for years, with a deal consisting of money in exchange for quiet; no one will forget his disdain for warnings by Military Intelligence (“I think they are overblown”); it will forever be remembered that on his watch, the greatest disaster to befall Israel took place, with communities and army bases overrun, with Israel exposed in its nakedness.
If Netanyahu also believes, as does his associate Hanegbi, that “he managed to fortify Israel,” then go ahead, establish a commission of inquiry that will determine whether he strengthened or weakened the country. His refraining from doing so provides the answer.
