Yesterday, Engelman sent a deficiencies document to Prime Minister Netanyahu demanding that the flaws be corrected after he toured the conflicting communities and met with the heads of the local authorities. "Thousands of residents of the country have been abandoned to their fate, hundreds of thousands of residents of the conflict line in the north and south who were evacuated from their homes have become needy, this is a reality-changing event from a national point of view," Engelman said. "The reality before the massacre cannot remain after it. It is already clear that the Israeli government and security forces need to do a significant home inspection of how the great failure on October 7 occurred."
Engelman also addressed the lack of a body responsible for exercising citizens' rights. "There's not one unified place that a person says this is my situation and I deserve 1,2,3, even my people had to collect the material from all kinds of bodies." Regarding his ministry's plan for 2024, he said that there is planning on issues related to the war and the failure related to Simchat Torah, in addition to issues related to the civilian home front and future vision. He added that there is a need to address treatment not only in the communities in the envelope and the north, but also in other areas that require treatment. Engelman also addressed the ironic issue, saying that there is a classified report on the subject submitted to the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.
