\nNetanyahu also addressed the growing calls for a state commission of inquiry into the events of October 7: \u201cWe must investigate the truth\u2014everyone, from the prime minister on down: the IDF, Shin Bet, all the agencies must be held to account,\u201d he stressed. He floated possible models for such a body: \u201cOne option\u2014which I prefer not to pursue\u2014is to establish a government-appointed commission, but that wouldn\u2019t be accepted by much of the public. Another is a commission selected by the Supreme Court President, but that too might lack broad public support.\u201d<\/p>\n
Netanyahu proposed a parliamentary model: \u201cOne idea is to have equal representation from the coalition and opposition, and they would jointly issue the necessary reports. Another is to require a special majority of 80 Knesset members to determine the commission’s composition.\u201d<\/p>\n
