Madrid – The Spanish government has canceled a defense contract worth nearly €700 million for Israeli-designed rocket launchers, officials confirmed.
The deal, which had been under negotiation for Spain’s armed forces, was terminated amid rising political and public pressure over Spain’s stance on the Gaza conflict.
According to defense ministry sources, the cancellation reflects Madrid’s broader reassessment of military procurements linked to Israel. The Spanish government has faced calls from civil society groups and lawmakers to halt defense cooperation with Israel in light of the ongoing war in Gaza.
No immediate details were provided on whether Spain plans to seek alternative suppliers for the rocket launcher systems.
