State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman has accused the military of failing to cooperate with his investigation into the events leading up to and during the October 7 attack in southern Israel. Englman sent a letter to the military's Chief of Staff, expressing concerns over the lack of access to documentation and the unavailability of senior officers for meetings. He claims these actions violate an agreement made under the supervision of the High Court of Justice in November 2024. The director general of the State Comptroller's Office echoed these concerns, stating that the investigation is not progressing as agreed. Critics have raised questions about the independence of the probe and whether it might minimize political accountability for the attack.
