Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior officials have been summoned to testify in a state inquiry regarding the submarine affair, with former Mossad head Yossi Cohen and ex-defence chief Moshe Yaalon among those called to give evidence under warning.

According to Times of Israel, IDF chief Zamir and former president Rivlin are also expected to provide testimony, though they have not been summoned as suspects in the investigation. The inquiry represents a significant scrutiny of Netanyahu’s role in decision-making processes related to the submarine matter.

The summons of Netanyahu and other high-ranking officials indicates the gravity of the state inquiry, which is examining potentially serious issues relating to the submarine procurement and deployment decisions.
