After a multi-billion dollar purchase of submarines and missile boats under prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli defense minister Benny Gantz announced a government commissioned inquiry into the scandal.
The commissioned inquiry does not have legal authority, as that would require approval from Netanyahu, although it may summon witnesses to testify. The main goal of this move by Gantz, however, is thought to be putting pressure on Netanyahu to fulfill their coalition agreements. Some have said though, that this may just further destabilize the already shaken government.
