""There was a failure here, a huge failure. This failure must be thoroughly examined, it must examine the political echelon, the military echelon, the security echelon, everyone. And this is only possible if we do it in a broad national inspection committee, which is not tailored to one side or the other," Netanyahu said.

"I welcome all participants in the cyber conference in Israel. Israel is a global cyber power. We receive a huge share of the world's cyber investments. I checked the data, we have a huge gap in per capita investments compared to any other country, and even in absolute numbers it is very high. pic.twitter.com/GoqPKFeK2n
He added: "A similar thing was done in the US. After the greatest disaster in US history, 9/11, they established a committee consisting of half Republicans, half Democrats. There was no advantage for anyone, anyone could bring any question, and any person that the parties wanted to bring up. That's what will happen here too, there will be no Etrog here, there will be no closure of one side against another. Everyone will bring and everyone will be questioned, and only in this way will we reach the truth. That's how it should be done, and that's what will be done.".
Netanyahu referred to the Israeli cyber industry. "Israel is a global cyber power. We receive a huge share of the world's cyber investments. I checked the data, we are in a huge gap in investments per capita compared to every other country, and even in absolute numbers it is very high.
""This came about thanks, first of all, to a decision we made 12 years ago; I said that we must place Israel in a leading position in the world in this field, and this was made possible because of the genius inherent in our people, in the women and men who founded the startups and truly surprised the world. Truly, the whole world comes here to see this, the national cyber, which is essentially a global cyber center.".
""We intend to do exactly the same thing in artificial intelligence, and we will also enter quantum. In these three areas, Israel will be a leading country in the world. This is important for securing our future, our security, our economy, and the well-being of our citizens.".
