Gantz says Netanyahu should be happier than anyone for submarine probe

Benny Gantz says the prime minister “should be more interested than anyone” in his announcement of an inquiry committee into the submarine affair.

“If, as he and his people claim, the issue has been thoroughly probed and his conduct was spotless — then any man convinced of his innocence should be happy for the chance to prove [it] to all,” Gantz says at the weekly Blue and White faction meeting.

He also says he’s “not afraid of elections” but believes they are not “what is needed for Israel.”
