Spain's leftist coalition government is in turmoil over a 6.6 million euro order for bullets from Israel. junior partners, led by Sumar, demand cancellation citing coalition agreements and commitment to Palestinian rights. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has been vocal against Israel's actions in Gaza, raising concerns about humanitarian law violations. Despite earlier cancelations of a larger order, the interior ministry proceeded with the contract, leading to protests from Sumar, which calls for complete embargoes on arms to Israel and holds the interior minister accountable for this contradiction.
The Sumar platform called for an immediate cancellation of a bullet purchase from Israel, asserting it violates the government's commitment to refrain from such deals amid the Gaza conflict.
Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska has faced criticism for allowing the ammunition order to proceed, seen as contradicting the coalition's stance on Israel during the Gaza war.
