Netanyahu reportedly says Oct. 7 inquiry must probe Oslo Accords, Gaza Disengagement, judicial overhaul opponentsTimes of Israel, Dec 22, 2025
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly said today that the planned government-backed commission of inquiry into the failings surrounding the Hamas onslaught of October 7, 2023, must include an examination of the 1993 Oslo Accords, the 2005 Disengagement from Gaza, and the 2023 protest movement against the government’s judicial overhaul agenda.
Netanyahu made his comments during the meeting of a ministerial committee he is heading that will determine the mandate of the government’s inquiry, which is being advanced instead of a widely demanded independent state commission of inquiry.
According to a report by Channel 12, Netanyahu told the ministerial committee that the investigation into the events of October 7 must go back decades, “from Oslo, through to the [Gaza] Disengagement, and up to [reserve duty] refusal.” The latter part refers to the declaration of some opponents of the government’s judicial overhaul agenda that they were discontinuing their service in the IDF reserves.
Netanyahu, who ruled Israel for roughly 14 of the 15 years preceding the Hamas onslaught, has adamantly refused to take responsibility, instead attempting to cast the blame on his predecessors, his political opponents, the security establishment and the judiciary.
