Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attacked State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman's report, which found numerous deficiencies in Netanyahu's performance, as well as that of ministers and other senior officials in government ministries. Netanyahu said that "the State Comptroller's report deals with footnotes of no real importance. The report completely ignores the fact that this is an existential war on a scale the state has never known in all its years. The conclusions drawn from the report are absurd, it is an irrelevant document."
