Israeli election debate: Knesset speaker calls for 7/10 state commission, coalition chair deflects

In a pre-election debate, Knesset Speaker Mirb Cohen (Together party) demanded a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre, while Coalition Chairman Ophir Katz avoided a direct commitment, suggesting the issue is politically charged. The exchange highlights a key electoral fault line ahead of the 2026 elections, with the failure to establish an inquiry becoming a central campaign issue.
