Interior Minister Eli Yishai welcomed on Thursday the draft report of the State Comptroller regarding the Carmel forest fire disaster.
“The minister welcomes the draft report which highlights the lack of a connection between the bus disaster and the minister’s activities,” Yishai’s office said in a statement.
“The draft emphasizes that Yishai worked dozens of times with the responsible government officials and positively highlights the fact Yishai was the only person who worked to improve the fire extinguishing system in the last twenty years,” the statement added.
