PELONI: The questions are known, and so long as the answers are ignored simple deductions will be drawn with or without a good basis. While many complain that Bibi is at fault for the inquiries going unpursued, there have been two inquiries undertaken already with Bibi’s full compliance. The reason that these inquiries were not completed and released to the public is due to orders from the military and the judiciary. In the wake of the Sde Teiman affair in which the Military Advocate General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi who spread a blood libel againt the IDF, we are left to ponder as suggested below by Alexander Maistrovoy that “this was not merely an intelligence failure, but a calculated plot orchestrated by factions within the country’s own military and intelligence establishment.” The corrosive effect of such conclusions makes the need all the more immediate for a careful, detailed and full investigation of the October 7 attack to be implemented with the interests and inquiries of all parties being included. This is what the national camp has been pursuing, but it is so far blocked with the support of the opposition parties, placing this topic squarely on the ballot in October’s election.

It is very possible that he is right.
