Steinitz denies meeting with Lindenstrauss on Carmel fire

Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz rejected as false on Tuesday a report in Maariv, in which the Hebrew daily said he had held a meeting with State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss on the topic of firefighting and December’s Carmel fires.
The Maariv report alleged that Steinitz and Interior Minister Eli Yishai had already given their versions of events to the Comptroller, with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu set to do so in the coming days.
