Hundreds of Israelis protested outside Israel’s Supreme Court on Wednesday, calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be investigated in a scandal surrounding a $2 billion submarine deal with Germany. Several Israeli businessmen, including confidants of Netanyahu and a former commander of the navy, are suspects in a graft scandal connected to the purchase of warships and submarines from German conglomerate ThyssenKrupp. Dan Halutz, a former military chief of staff, accused Netanyahu of hiding relevant information from defense officials when deciding to purchase the submarines from Germany.
