Paradoxically, the Justices have often been used to head or be part of commissions of inquiry into major public controversies on matters of the highest national importance. Justice Kahan led the inquiry into the Phalangist massacre of Palestinian refugees in Beirut. Judge Barak himself was a member of that commission. Supreme Court President Shimon Agranat headed a commission investigating responsibility for unprepared ness for the Yom Kippur War, which led to the resignations of Prime Minister Golda Meier and Defense Minister Moshe Dayan.
