Outgoing State Comptroller Matanyahu Anglemann said at the Local Government Center Conference that senior military officials asked him to remove the chapter addressing responsibility in his October 7 investigations.
Outgoing State Comptroller Matanyahu Anglemann alleged on Wednesday that senior military leaders asked him to drop a chapter on responsibility in his probes of the October 7, 2023, attacks. Speaking at the Local Government Center Conference, Anglemann said: “Senior figures in the military echelon asked me to remove the responsibility chapter in the October 7 investigations. I did not agree.” The comptroller did not name the officials or specify the investigation. The statement adds pressure on the military and political echelons amid ongoing debates over accountability for the massacre. As The Zioneer previously reported, MK Ariel Kalner earlier removed the State Comptroller from the appointment mechanism for a state commission of inquiry into October 7 — a move that now appears in a new light given Anglemann's claim of attempted influence.
