Liberman Calls for Investigation into October 7 Attack, Accuses Government of Cover-Up

Avigdor Liberman, the leader of the Israeli Beitenu party, sharply criticized the Israeli government on Sunday, accusing it of attempting to obscure the facts surrounding the October 7 attack by Hamas, which led to the deaths of hundreds of Israelis.

In remarks reported by Hebrew media, Liberman stated: "Rather than disclosing the truth about this tragic event, the failing government is creating a committee that seems designed to hide the facts." He further claimed that the government has lost control of the situation and is engaged in a battle against transparency.

Liberman announced his plans to create an official investigation committee, asserting that "no one will evade accountability, and all involved will be scrutinized. Those found responsible will face consequences," referring to the need for political and security accountability for failures to prevent or adequately respond to the attack.

His comments reflect growing frustration within the Israeli opposition, which is increasingly demanding a thorough and independent investigation into the security and political missteps that preceded the attack. Would you like an image of Avigdor Liberman to visually support the news?
