"One scream was repeated again and again, which all the members of the committee share, is to establish a state commission of inquiry with all the powers attached to it. This state commission of inquiry established by law is the ultimate fair and correct body to check the events."

4. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Chair of the civil commission committee, retired judge Varda Alsheikh:
"We, the members of the committee, state in the report that the Israeli government has failed in its main task of maintaining the security of the citizens of Israel. This is the direct responsibility of every government, every minister and whoever is in charge and they must take responsibility and face it. And the security system, the IDF, the Shin Bet and other parties have failed completely in fulfilling their sole mission of protecting the citizens of Israel. Their heads have already taken the responsibility, and they too will have to pay a personal price as it is expected from anyone who is responsible for this failure"

6. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Chair of the civil commission committee, retired judge Varda Alsheikh:
"It is impossible not to refer to those who bear the responsibility for the great failure in the State of Israel and in the history of the nation before those responsible are named. It will be emphasized and we emphasize this because the events of the 7th October are the result of failure and erosion for at least two decades. On a personal level Mister Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu bears responsibility by virtue of being the prime minister and especially because of the fact that he has held this position for over a decade-and-a-half, the responsibility is both general and concrete".

8. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Chair of the civil commission committee, retired judge Varda Alsheikh:
"The committee states that according to the various testimonies, Netanyahu is responsible for the decision not to make a preemptive strike on Hamas. The members of the committee conclude that the Prime Minister is responsible for ignoring the pull on his coat tails" and the warnings he received regarding the fact that our enemies recognize a weakness and an opportunity to start a war. To all these we will add the rift in the nation"

STORYLINE:
The Israeli government has failed in its main task of protecting Israeli citizens, chair of the civil commission committee in Israel said on Tuesday.
The independent civilian commission of inquiry into the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel has found Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directly responsible for the failures leading up to the attack, alongside former defense ministers, the army chief and heads of security services.
The commission led by retired judge Varda Alsheik presented its findings on Tuesday after a four month probe in which it heard some 120 witnesses. It was set up by relatives of victims of the Hamas attack, in response to the absence of any state probe.
The commission determined that the Israeli government, its army and security services “failed in their primary mission of protecting the citizens of Israel.”
The civil commission called for the immediate establishment of a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 attack.
