MK Avi Maoz (Religious Zionism) commented on the government's decision to establish a state commission of inquiry into the submarine affair.

"Naftali Bennett brings a decision to the government that he disapproves of, and according to his explanations, is made in complete contradiction to his opinion. This decision is further proof that even in his own eyes Naftali Bennett is not the actual prime minister, but only in the title. Shaked cannot silence her conscience for actually allowing the left-wing government to completely destroy the governance of the Land of Israel and the Jewish identity of the state."
