David Shimron told AG there was no conflict of interest in submarine deal

Facing questions over his representation of a German shipyard which is set to supply Israel with three new submarines, David Shimron, the personal lawyer of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, wrote a letter to the Attorney General this morning denying any conflict of interest, according to Channel 2 News.

In turn Attorney General Avicahi Mandelblit asked State Prosecutor Shai Nitzan for further information on the issue, signalling a move towards opening a full probe.
