Justice Minister Yariv Levin will head the special ministerial committee that will determine the mandate of the investigative committee into the October 7th failures.
The ministers who will be members of the committee are Bezalel Smotrich, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Ze'ev Elkin, Avi Dichter, Gila Gamliel, Orit Struck, Amichai Eliyahu and Amichai Shikli.
At a government meeting on Sunday, ministers decided to promote the establishment of an "independent" investigative committee to investigate the events.
According to the decision, the committee will have full investigative powers, and its composition will strive to gain "as broad a public consensus as possible.".
As part of the decision, it was agreed to establish a special ministerial committee, which will be responsible for formulating the mandate of the investigative committee - the issues it will investigate and the periods that will be examined.
The ministerial committee was given a time frame of 45 days to submit its recommendations to the government.
In recent weeks, High Court judges have ruled that "there is no real dispute regarding the very need to establish a state commission with broad investigative powers.".
However, Prime Minister Netanyahu - and with him the entire right-wing bloc - continues to oppose the establishment of an official state investigation committee, which by law is established by the President of the Supreme Court, in whom there is a complete lack of confidence.
