💨 Abstract

Spain is cancelling a €285 million ($325 million) deal to purchase 168 SPIKE LR2 anti-tank missile systems from an Israeli company's Spanish subsidiary, following its halt on arms exports to Israel in 2023 after the Hamas-led assault on southern Israel. This decision comes amidst Spain's recognition of a Palestinian state and ongoing international legal actions against Israeli officials, accusing them of crimes against humanity in Gaza.
