Spain has canceled a major arms contract worth nearly $825 million for Israeli-designed rocket launchers. That’s according to a document reviewed by the AFP. It comes as Netanyahu held a press conference yesterday stressing the need for Israel to develop its own weapons industry, as more countries sanction Israel over its assault on Gaza.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “So we are going to produce an independent arms industry, very powerful, very strong, that can withstand any kind of international political constraints and will provide security for the state of Israel.”
