Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and four former senior officials will face 18 closed hearings in November and December before the state commission investigating the submarine affair, according to The Jerusalem Post. The commission will determine whether the recipients of warning letters bear personal responsibility.
The state commission investigating the submarine affair has scheduled 18 closed hearings for November and December to determine the personal responsibility of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and four former senior officials, according to The Jerusalem Post.
The hearings will be held behind closed doors, consistent with the commission's earlier announcement that witness hearings would begin in November. The Zioneer reported on July 23 that the committee, chaired by former Supreme Court President Asher Grunis, would hear witnesses including Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, former National Security Advisors Yossi Cohen and Avner Simchoni, and former Navy Commander Ram Rothberg.
The commission has stated that its final report will be published after the hearings conclude. The current report adds that 18 sessions are planned over two months, but does not specify the exact dates or the order of witnesses.
