Retired defense officials continue to fuel the purchase into a scandal, but no one knows if Israel will not gradually drift into a nuclear Middle East, and for that we need the submarines.

Before entering politics, Ganz claimed that according to what he knew at the political level - there was no corruption in the submarine affair.

He was familiar with the issue of purchasing the submarines from his time as chief of staff. Now, before announcing his decision to set up a commission of inquiry into the "submarine affair," he said in an interview: On the policy of combating the plague, he told Ynet: "We need a policy without political influence."

And here, one can now see the dynamics of initiating investigations in Israel.

An investigation is opened into a first-rate strategic issue, for political reasons.

But it must be said more: there is also a strategic consideration in the submarine incineration.

It turns out that senior members of the senior defense establishment, people like Ya'alon, Barak, Yair Golan, including Ganz himself, can use loud pressure groups with a strong media backlash and finally force another investigation.

A defense commission in the defense system, which can also eventually transfer its findings to a criminal investigation process, if these border on criminal.

The absurdity is that a minister in the government decides to set up a commission of inquiry, which is in fact a commission of inquiry, the purpose of which is to put the cross on the prime minister's head - in the government where Ganz serves as defense minister. 

The strategic reason senior retirees are refueling the submarines into a constant scandal is that they oppose the submarine purchase.

They oppose enlarging the submarine arm, which is an essential arm of the State of Israel in the rainy season.

No one knows if Israel will not gradually slip into a nuclear Middle East, and that is why the purchase of the submarines is needed.

By criminalizing the submarine affair, those who oppose drowning the submarines, and together with them the prime minister, hope. 

The Germans have long said that if a criminal defect is revealed on the subject, the submarines are gone.

They will cancel the deal.

What Dan Harel, the director general of the Ministry of Defense, said in the affidavit about a "tender" for the submarines, is ridiculous. Since 1991, during Chancellor Kohl, Germany has been a submarine supplier. On the issue of nuclear and submarines with Germany, and it is not serious to demand that such an arms system be subject to an international tender. Just as the Ministry of Defense does not issue a tender for the purchase of future aircraft and purchase them in the United States. 

It should be mentioned that the IDF and the defense establishment have repeatedly entangled Israeli society over the past decade in scandals that have become investigations and commissions of inquiry: the Marmara Commission of Inquiry, the Harpaz-Ashkenazi-Mandelblit affair ( And the vessels that Ya'alon, Barak, Lapid and Shelach have been inflating for four years, and have become the central motif in the riots of black shirts and red fascism.
