Bannon`s War RoomOct 7, 2026
Read literally, 'no official government investigations' is contradicted: the IDF (Feb 2025), the Shin Bet (Mar 2025) and the state comptroller (launched Dec 2023, later suspended) all conducted official probes of the October 7 failures.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… This is on Pearl Harbor. We're three years into this. There's been no there's another election coming up with Netanyahu, this guy. There's been no, zero, zero official investigations. Hey, well, we're at war. Well, hey, guess what? World War II is at war too. A government's got to do two things. We need answers on this thing. …
Bannon`s War Room · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. Israel's military (IDF) published official investigations into its October 7 failures in February 2025, and the Shin Bet released its own investigation findings in March 2025.[1][2][3]
Contradicts. The state comptroller, a government audit office, launched an investigation in December 2023, which was later suspended by the attorney general.[4]
Supports. A BBC report published 2026-10-07 states that three years on there is still no independent state inquiry into the attack, and that campaigners are petitioning the high court for one.[5]
Supports. The government's late-2025 decision created only a 'watered-down' government committee under Netanyahu's control, and a bill for a state commission was introduced in the Knesset in December 2025.[6][7]
Context. The post's own words ('it's not an official government investigation' and 'no official government investigations') refer to the absence of a state commission of inquiry, so the claim's broader wording goes beyond what the post said.
