Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office slams State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman after the ombudsman sent a letter complaining the PMO was not cooperating in a probe into the October 7 failures.
“The comptroller’s letter only reached us via the media,” the PMO says in a statement. “Contrary to the accusations, the PMO is cooperating completely.”
“Every request is answered in full, including all questions regarding the Prime Minister, even though all the PMO teams are working around the clock on the issues of the war,” the statement says.
“The fact that the comptroller’s spokesman chose to release a news story, devoid of any basis, instead of contacting the Prime Minister’s Office, is an unnecessary confrontation in a time of war,” the statement says.
