Member of Knesset Erel Margalit has written a letter to Chairman Avi Dichter of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee to renew its hearings on failures during 2014's Defensive Edge counterterror campaign in Gaza and publish a report on the matter.
Margalit said Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's political interests are preventing progress on the matter, which the committee has been promising for two years. He said he and others would not let Netanyahu silence and paralyze any Knesset committee. He said it was their duty to the public in general and to the bereaved families of fallen soldiers in particular.
