IDF chief, state comptroller agree on framework for examination of October 7

New IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman announce they’ve reached an agreement on a framework for Englman’s examination of the events of October 7, 2023, and the events leading up to it.

“This framework builds upon the agreements reached in November 2024, based on which dozens of reviews have been conducted within the IDF in recent months, covering 70 percent of the topics,” they say in a joint statement.

“As part of the agreement between the comptroller and the chief of staff, it was clarified that the State Comptroller’s Office will consider operational needs and the dynamic operational reality, engaging in discussions with the IDF to regulate the audit workload. Additionally, it was determined that the investigations and documents on which the audit is based will be transferred from the IDF to the State Comptroller’s Office by the end of April.”
