The Israeli Knesset refused a motion by the opposition to name a state commission of inquiry to investigate Gaza 2014 war report Israel Hayom Hebrew newspaper said.
The motion presented to parliament by Meretz MK Michal Rozin was dismissed with a vote of 44 to 22.
“While everyone is talking about the previous war I want to talk about the next war” Rozin said.
The Israeli government accepts the next war as a fait accompli. Politicians are busy trading barbs and looking for someone to blame in the military and in the cabinet. They don’t talk about the next war only the previous one she added.
On Tuesday Israeli retired judge Yosef Shapira issued a report leveled at the Diplomatic-Security Cabinet over its conduct during the 2014 aggression on the Gaza Strip.
Shapira’s report criticized the fact that Israeli Army Minister Moshe Ya’alon and IOF Chief Benny Gantz as well as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not properly brief the cabinet on the threat posed by Palestinian resistance tunnels used by Hamas Movement during the aggression.
“If the prime minister updated [the cabinet] over everything there would be more leaks. The more transparency you pursue the greater the risk that things will leak” he said.
On July 7 2014 Israel launched a bloody aggression on Gaza Strip which lasted for 51 days and left 2251 dead including 551 children and 11000 injured persons.
