Why Netanyahu rejected compromise with Noam Sohlberg in probing October 7 - analysis
It has become clear that Netanyahu and the government's problem with a state inquiry was not activist judges, but their desire to navigate the results to not be overly negative for themselves
Assessment
This report claims that Prime Minister Netanyahu's refusal to accept a compromise with Judge Noam Sohlberg over the October 7 investigation reveals that the government's objection was not about judicial activism. Instead, the issue appears to be a desire to control the inquiry's narrative and outcomes to avoid findings that could harm the government politically. The tension centers on whether any investigation will be genuinely independent.
