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.

    Is this for real this time or another empty promise or they still give Israel money some other way, again?

      I think this is finally a real massive hit which is not just posturing. Unless they secretly do it in the background which might happen but I find unlikely.
