Israeli court says comptroller overstepped authority in 7 Oct attack probes

An Israeli court ruled that state comptroller Matanyahu Englman exceeded his authority in investigating eight issues related to the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack. The court barred him from completing probes into four areas, including Israel's transfer of Qatari funds to Hamas, Gaza border defences, intelligence agency conduct, and government response during the attack. Four other reports were ordered to be redone due to missing interviews with key officials.
