October 7th Inquiry Blows Up In Netanyahu’s Face, And He Pulled The Trigger!

Right, so Netanyahu’s government has just told Israel’s High Court: don’t force an independent October 7 inquiry before the election. Well whyever would that be then?Let Israelis decide whether to put Netanyahu back in office first. Ask what went wrong under his government afterwards.Vote first. Answers later.That is the timetable Netanyahu wants. But putting it in writing may have been a colossal mistake, because his government has now handed every election rival the same brutally simple attack line:Netanyahu wants your vote before you get the truth.He has tried to shove the October 7 inquiry safely beyond polling day. Instead, he has dragged it straight into the campaign and turned his own court filing into an election trap.That says more than a thousand government press releases ever could, and no one has even spoken yet.Now Netanyahu's government has gone to Israel's High Court and essentially said, do not force an independent inquiry before the election.Just put it in the political deep freeze and only bring it out once the votes are safely counted.
