Spain has canceled another arms deal with "Israel" while Madrid is calling for international sanctions on the zionist entity as Spain doubles down on its boycott of "Israel" for its genocide in Gaza.

The Spanish Defense Ministry has decided against proceeding with its planned $325 million (NIS 1.15 billion) purchase of Spike anti-tank missiles from Rafael, marking another escalation in the diplomatic tensions between Spain and "Israel", according to a report by the Ara daily newspaper.

Rafael responded to the reports by stating that it had not been officially notified of any cancellation regarding the deal.

Spain has been an outspoken supporter of Palestine in light of the genocidal Israeli war on Gaza, calling for action and the recognition of a Palestinian state, while boycotting "Israel".

Spain stands with Palestine against 'Israel'

On May 29, Spain, Ireland, Slovenia, and Norway issued a joint statement urging the international community to support the State of Palestine's full membership in the United Nations, emphasizing that official recognition is a crucial step toward achieving a just and lasting peace in the region.

The four countries emphasized in their statement that this stance not only reflects their political support but also demonstrates their firm commitment to the two-state solution, international law, and adherence to United Nations resolutions, reinforcing their unified position on the matter.

Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares announced to reporters on May 25 that Spain would call for the "immediate suspension" of the European Union's cooperation agreement with "Israel" while also pushing for EU partners to adopt an arms embargo against the country, as Madrid continues to escalate its diplomatic stance against the Israeli regime.

“We must do everything, consider everything, to stop this war,” Albares told France Info, as Spain prepared to host representatives from 20 countries and key international organizations. The summit's goal is to demand an immediate ceasefire and revive momentum for a "two-state solution".

His comments follow Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s declaration on May 14, calling the Israeli occupation a “genocidal state". Sanchez has since imposed an arms embargo on "Israel" and formally recognized the State of Palestine.
