A second failure? Israel's delay of an October 7 investigation is unacceptable - editorial
The failures of October 7 were not limited to one unit, a command post, an intelligence assessment, the border fence, or a ministerial decision
Assessment
The editorial argues that delaying a formal investigation into the October 7 events compounds the original failures by preventing accountability and learning. It suggests the scope of failure was systemic, touching every level of decision making and operations. The key question is whether the delay itself becomes a second failure that erodes public trust and institutional readiness.
