“I haven’t read the committee’s conclusions, but as the one who brought the approval for the sixth submarine from Germany, and came up with the need for three more submarines, as the one who started the implementation of these two things, this is a vital need of the State of Israel,” he said at the beginning of his words, “It’s good that she accepted them, And it’s a shame she didn’t receive them first. I don’t think anyone is accused of corruption there, but they didn’t act according to the procedures, it seems to me like ‘nitty gritty’.

“I understand that in one area, I understand and don’t know, there is a claim that he did not consult, when he was asked by the Germans if he was against building submarines for Egypt, and he did not inform the security establishment. In retrospect, I gave it a deep consideration, and it was correct.” added

Finally, he said that “there was a government decision to buy a sixth submarine, and it was handled by the request of the Minister of Defense. Regarding the three additional submarines, I thought it was essential, I went to the Prime Minister and then participated as an ordinary citizen, and there was an orderly process. Regarding the surface boats – when the state announced ‘Exclusive economic water’ we held a discussion at the MAL, and representatives from the army came and there was a substantive discussion, their needs were examined. I know that these three things have been well discussed. There is another question that does not pertain to these discussions, is where they are purchased, as if there was a tender, and it was canceled and the cancellation was not my business, and that needs to be found out.”
