Spain cancels purchase of bullets from Israel
Over its war with Hamas
The Spanish government has unilaterally cancelled a contract to purchase ammunition rounds for the Interior Ministry from an Israeli firm, a government source said Thursday, ceding to pressure from hard-left junior coalition partner Sumar.
Spain, a long-time critic of Israel's policies in the Palestinian territories, pledged in October 2023 to stop selling weapons to Israel over its war with Hamas in Gaza and last year widened that commitment to include weapons purchases.
