Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has called for Israel to be barred from international sports competitions for as long as its “barbarism” in Gaza continues, as the Spanish government reportedly cancelled a contract worth nearly €700m (£605m) for Israeli-designed rocket launchers.
The cancellation, reported by local media, Haaretz and Agence France-Presse, came after Sánchez announced last week that his government would “consolidate in law” a ban on military equipment sales or purchases with Israel over its offensive in Gaza.
