Spain has moved to cancel nearly a billion euros’ worth of weapons contracts linked to 'Israeli' firms.

According to documents published on Spain’s official public contracts platform, Madrid has halted a 700 million euros (USD 825 million) agreement for 12 SILAM rocket launcher systems, which were based on the 'Israeli'-made PULS design from Elbit Systems. The deal, awarded to a consortium of Spanish companies, was struck down on September 9, following earlier media reports.

Good. I mean, regardless of where anyone stands on this war, I'm really tired about how countries use the middle east as a way to run endless proxy wars... the whole thing would have either fizzled out or stabilized by now in one direction or another had it not been for all the countries instigating and pouring weapons into it.
