Hundreds of submarine reservists call to stop overhaul ‘before we reach the abyss’

Reservists and veterans of Israel’s submarine fleet come out strongly against the coalition’s planned judicial overhaul, warning in an open letter that its repercussions could “reach the depths of the sea and damage the critical strength of the submarine fleet.”

The hundreds of submariners who signed the letter, some of whom still serve in the reserves, join the groups of pilots, tankists, special forces and sailors who have penned similar letters in recent weeks.

In the open letter, which will be published tomorrow in the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, the roughly 300 submariners call on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to halt the proposed judicial legislation immediately.
