Maariv marks a decade since the submarine affair (Case 3000), which began to be exposed in November 2016. At the center of the affair was a billion-dollar deal to purchase three submarines from Germany, which raised questions about the decision-making process and the involvement of individuals close to the top leadership. The article reviews the initial exposure on Channel 10 by Raviv Drucker, the criminal indictment filed against seven involved parties, and the state commission of inquiry that has yet to formulate final conclusions. The commission sent warning letters to five figures: Benjamin Netanyahu, Moshe (Bogi) Ya'alon, Yossi Cohen, Ram Rothberg, and Avner Simhoni. Netanyahu, as clarified, was not a suspect in the criminal case. The article also notes the closure of the case against David Shmeron, Netanyahu's personal attorney.
