Germany said set to approve submarine sale today

Germany is expected to approve a controversial sale of three submarines to Israel later today, Israel Radio reports.

The purchase of the Dolphin-class submarines has been mired in controversy, since it came to light that a close ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was representing the German company that manufactures them.

The initial agreement was replaced with one that is said to include language precluding the sale if impropriety is found.
