Spain has unilaterally cancelled a multi-million-dollar contract to buy bullets from an Israeli company that infuriated the minority Socialist-led administration’s far-left coalition partner, government sources said on Thursday. Spain halted weapons transactions with Israel after the outbreak of the war in Gaza, which followed by Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, and has devastated the occupied Palestinian territory, killing more than 50,000 people. The interior ministry then sought to negotiate a termination of the 6.8-million-euro ($7.8 million) contract with Israeli firm IMI Systems, which was to have supplied bullets to the Spanish Civil Guard.
