Nearly two-thirds of Israelis support the immediate establishment of a commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre, according to a May poll from the Jewish People Policy Institute's Israeli Society Index. The survey identified the main point of contention as whether the judiciary should be involved in the inquiry committee.
The poll results come as Israel continues to address the aftermath of the attack.
A memorial ceremony was held at the Nova festival site to mark two years since the massacre. The Jewish People Policy Institute conducts the Israeli Society Index on a regular basis to track public opinion.
The May edition focused in part on views regarding an official examination of events surrounding the October 7 attack. Public discussion about the appropriate structure for any commission has centered on the question of judicial participation. The poll measured support for establishing such a body without delay.
