The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has rejected calls for an immediate independent inquiry into the security failures that allowed the deadliest attack in his country’s history.
Speaking to Israel’s parliament, Netanyahu told lawmakers: “First, I want to beat Hamas.”

The Israeli defence minister, Yoav Gallant, had last week called for the formation of a state-commission inquiry for the 7 October attacks.
“I don’t want the vulnerabilities fixed, I want to be able to punish women and children!”
This man is happy to let the nation burn to the ground, and pour extra fuel on top, so long as he stays in power.
Seems to be a lot of that going around these days.
Seems like an awful lot of his people and colleagues are complicit to his goals too.
Isn’t that how it usually goes?
