Ceding to internal pressure, Spain scraps purchase of Israeli bullets

The Spanish government has canceled a contract to purchase ammunition rounds from an Israeli firm, following pressure from its hard-left coalition partner. Spain had previously pledged to stop selling weapons to Israel and expanded that commitment to include weapons purchases. The purchase, worth 6.6 million euros, included more than 15 million 9-mm rounds. The decision has caused internal divisions within the ruling coalition and threatens to deprive Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez of votes in parliament.
