Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has called for a state inquiry into failings around the October 7 Hamas attack, saying it should investigate Gallant himself and his boss, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Reuters reports.

The state inquiry, he said, “must be objective, it needs to investigate all of us, those who make decisions and those who carry them out, the government, the military, and the security agencies.”

“It must investigate me, the defence minister, it must investigate the prime minister,” Gallant said, to cheers from the crowd.
