Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has launched a petition campaign to garner signatures in an attempt to press Netanyahu’s government to establish an inquiry into the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attacks, Al Jazeera reports.

The fact that the Israeli cabinet decided to postpone the inquiry amounted to efforts to “bury” the inquiry, Lapid told reporters in advance of a Knesset meeting.

“They postponed it for another three months. From their perspective, no one at the political level is guilty or responsible for what happened on October 7. They don’t want us to know.”
