Benny Gantz was chairman of the companys board of directors at the time.The second concerns the so-called Harpaz Affair of 2010, around the appointment of a new chief of staff after the approaching retirement from the position of Gabi Ashkenazi (today one of the quartet leading Blue and White), which ended with Benny Gantz being appointed to the job rather than Yoav Gallant today a government minister from the Likud Party.The case of The Fifth Dimension emerged as a result of the publication of the State Comptrollers Report in March 2019, which inter alia dealt with irregularities in the procurement mechanism of the police, of which The Fifth Dimension was an example.
