flag A 2026 state inquiry led by retired Supreme Court President Asher Grunis found that Israel’s defense procurement, particularly the 2009–2017 Dolphin-class submarine deals with Germany, suffered from years of chaotic, ad hoc decision-making lacking clear policy, oversight, or documentation. flag The report criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu and other leaders for failing to uphold their responsibility for national security, with the National Security Council overstepping its advisory role and the Israeli Navy violating conduct rules. flag Key decisions, including submarine sales to Egypt, were made without proper consultation, raising concerns about military readiness and regional security. flag The committee emphasized the need for structured, transparent processes in future defense acquisitions and will continue hearings to assess individual accountability.
