Outgoing State Comptroller Matanyahu Anglemann revealed at the Channel 14 Israel Security Conference that an IDF element recorded audit meetings without prior coordination. He also said the Chief of Staff and former Shin Bet head were unaware of the Nova party during the night consultation. Anglemann warned that the frozen appointment of a new comptroller is an 'abnormal situation that goes under the radar.'
Outgoing State Comptroller Matanyahu Anglemann made a series of revelations at the Channel 14 Israel Security Conference on Tuesday, detailing an IDF element's unauthorized recording of audit meetings and warning of the consequences of the ongoing vacancy in his office.
Anglemann stated that his office discovered an IDF body had recorded audit sessions without coordination, a breach of protocol. He also disclosed that during the night consultation on October 7, the Chief of Staff and the former Shin Bet director were unaware of the Nova party massacre unfolding in real time. The remarks add new detail to Anglemann's ongoing criticism of the military establishment's handling of the October 7 investigations.
On the stalled appointment of his successor, Anglemann reiterated his concern, calling the situation 'abnormal' and 'flying under the radar.' The Zioneer has reported that the Knesset Speaker has yet to decide on compliance with a High Court order to hold elections for a new comptroller, leaving the office vacant since Anglemann's term ended on July 5. The comments come amid a broader constitutional standoff between the legislature and the judiciary over the appointment process.
