Germany approves submarine sale to Israel

The German government has approved a Memorandum of Understanding for the sale of three submarines to Israel, Israeli sources revealed on Friday.

The sources said the MoU is likely to be signed by both sides in the coming weeks, despite an ongoing investigation in Israel into the deal.

In July, Germany put off the signing of the MoU following the arrest of several Israelis on suspicion of offenses, including bribery and money laundering, around the deal to buy the Dolphin submarines from German industrial giant ThyssenKrupp.
