"We need reinforcements...Where are all the officers who are lounging around? They need to come here!" pleaded officers over radio.
Sources involved in the negotiations say that a final decision on Porush's demands has not been made yet and that it "remains in discussion."
The inquiry has questioned top political officials, all of whom had been holding their breath about whether the inquiry would place the blame on them during an election season.
Amid the focus on the corruption trial of Benjamin Netanyahu, most have forgotten the three state inquiries: The Submarine Affair, Mount Meron tragedy and Gilboa Prison breakout.
The commission was established in mid-2021 following the death of 45 men and boys on April 30, 2021, in a mass crush on Mount Meron, the site of the tomb of Talmudic sage Shimon Bar Yochai.
When officials see those tactics work, why would they even bother trying to fix the problems that plague Israel? Why would they bother trying to solve some of the decades-old challenges Israel faces?
More than a year after 45 families lost loved ones on Mount Meron, there is still nobody able to stand up and say, “I’m sorry, I was partially to blame.”
In the topsy-turvy world of Israeli politics, the warning letter sent by the Meron commission is likely to bolster Netanyahu’s bid to return to the premiership rather than sink it.
Warning letters could be the beginning of a legal process against the former prime minister, minister of public security and police chief Shabtai.
