Altelina Wreck Sparks Political Clash
The entire wreck of the "Altalena" ship was discovered off the Israeli coast at a depth of 503 meters, approximately 20 kilometers from the shore, using advanced sensors and electronic devices. The ship had been brought from France in June 1948, loaded with arms, and was linked to a political and ethnic conflict, as the Irgun organization ("Etzel") refused to deliver the weapons to the Israeli army and exchanged fire with them. This led to the ship's destruction and sinking on the orders of David Ben-Gurion in July 1949 to prevent it from becoming a shrine. The commemoration of the ship's sinking has turned into a platform for disagreements among Israeli parties, with Netanyahu emphasizing that its sinking helped expedite the War of Independence. The events are used to cast political and historical criticism, imbuing them with symbolic and historical significance for the Likud party and the Irgun movement.
