Legacy
A ceremony commemorating the Altalena Affair is held annually, attended primarily by relatives of the victims and political personalities identified with Israel's national camp.
In 2011, invitations circulated by Israel's Ministry of Defense used the word murdered in reference to the fighters who lost their lives in the incident, implying that Ben-Gurion, Rabin and the IDF had committed murder. Defense Minister Ehud Barak subsequently demanded that the "severe mishap" be investigated and corrected. Speaker of the Knesset Reuven Rivlin said at the ceremony that the Altalena Affair was an unatonable crime.
