Damning Carmel Fire Report Sent to Top Israeli Officials
State Comptroller's final draft expected to recommend removal of Interior Minister Eli Yishai and Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz.
The State Comptrollers Office on Thursday sent the final draft of its report on the December 2010 Carmel fire to government ministers and officials. Earlier drafts of the damning report raised expectations that Israel's interior and finance ministers would be asked to resign over their failures in dealing with the disaster.
The draft will be sent to all its intended recipients today, who will be given three weeks to comment on the reference to report.
The recipients of the report include: Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz, Interior Minister Eli Yishai, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovich.
The report is also being sent to police, prison service, and fire and rescue services officials, who were in senior positions at the time of the Carmel fire on December 2, 2010.
An earlier draft of the report, was released in August last yet.
Last month, Haaretz reported that there are expectations that the final report will call for the removal of Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz and Interior Minister Eli Yishai from their current positions.
