JERUSALEM, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- A committee in Israel's Knesset said it would examine the government's treatment of Holocaust survivors in a program declared "riddled with faults."
A state commission of inquiry led by the president of the Supreme Court said Holocaust survivors "had been given enough promises" and the "(government's) treatment of them was riddled with faults," State Control Committee chairman Zevulun Orlev said in Monday's Jerusalem Post.
An inquiry will examine current and past government conduct toward survivors, though some critics said the government was delaying its own promises in an effort to buy time at the expense of aging survivors.
Orlev called for the establishment of a monitoring system to oversee government fulfillment of subsidies for Holocaust survivors.
