Protesters say only an independent body can expose what went wrong, including the political and security decisions that allowed such a breach to occur. Many are calling the inquiry essential, arguing that Israel cannot move forward without full public accountability. Critics accuse Netanyahu’s government of trying to control or dilute any investigation by replacing an independent inquiry with a committee under his influence. Anger continues to grow over reports that Israeli security agencies ignored or downplayed intelligence warnings before the assault. Protesters say the government is trying to hide the scale of friendly fire deaths on October 7, and believe an independent inquiry is essential to expose who authorised the Hannibal Directive. They argue Netanyahu and senior military officials may be trying to avoid responsibility. Support stories that matter.
