What's Happening?
IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir has faced criticism for his handling of the October 7 events, particularly for punishing those on duty without addressing the actions of previous leadership, including himself. Calls for a state inquiry have emerged
to address these past mistakes and ensure comprehensive accountability. The inquiry aims to evaluate the decisions and actions leading up to the events and propose necessary reforms to prevent future failures.
Why It's Important?
