As the initial shock and horror over Thursday night’s deadly crush at Lag B’Omer festivities on Mount Meron began to subside, focus started to turn on Friday toward the matter of who was to blame for the packed conditions at the site that led to the deaths of 45 people and the injuring of dozens of others in the fatal stampede.
Stark questions will likely be directed at political, civil and law enforcement officials involved in planning, approving and securing the event, amid talk of a potential state commission of inquiry to thoroughly investigate the disaster.

A proposal by Labor Chairman and Minister of Economy Amir Peretz to promote regulation of the illegal Bedouin settlement enterprise and establish new settlements for Bedouin in the Negev was dropped on Tuesday from the government’s agenda following threats from a long list of ministers that they would vote to kill it as long as the government does not regulate Jewish settlements in peril in Judea and Samaria.
On Tuesday, MK Bezalel Smotrich (Yamina) tweeted: “Netanyahu continues his fire sale of Zionism and right-wing values and is right now approving in the government the underhanded deal of establishing 3 new Bedouin settlements in the Negev.”
