Lapid echoes call for probe in submarines affair
Blue and White’s Yair Lapid joins the call for a deeper investigation into the affair.
“As someone who gave evidence in the submarine affair, as the one who managed some of the negotiations with the German government, I join the clear call — this is the biggest national security corruption scandal in the history of the country and Netanyahu is at its center. It is unavoidable: he will be investigated,” says Lapid.
Among other things, Lapid demands that Netanyahu explain why he was invested in a company that supplied materials to Thyssenkrupp and why he denied the approval of sales to Egypt.
