Spain’s Interior Ministry said, on Tuesday, it was cancelling a contract to buy ammunition from an Israeli firm, widening a Spanish pledge not to sell weapons to Israel to include purchases, too, Reuters reports.

Cadena Ser radio earlier reported that the Guardia Civil police force had agreed to buy more than 15 million 9-mm rounds for six million Euros ($6.48 million) from Guardian Ltd Israel.

Spain said it would stop arms sales to Israel in October 2023 when Israel’s war with Hamas started in Gaza.

“The Spanish government maintains the commitment not to sell weapons to the Israeli state since the armed conflict broke out in the Territory of Gaza,” it said in a statement. “Although in this case it is an acquisition of ammunition, the Interior Ministry has initiated the administrative procedure to cancel the purchase,” it said.

The Ministry said that Israeli companies would also be excluded from any outstanding tenders.
