The signing of a memorandum of understanding on the German sale of three submarines to Israel has been postponed, a National Security Council official said on Tuesday morning.

The official‘s announcement came following a report in the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth that Germany postponed the signing of the memorandum in light of Israel‘s investigation into possible corruption in the deal. According to the daily, the signing of the memorandum was meant to take place next in Germany, but the event has been postponed indefinitely.
