According to the website Yedioth Ahronoth, the contract involves the purchase of tactical drones, model &#8220;Watchkeeper X,&#8221; from Elbit Systems. Romanian officials have stated that repeated delays in the delivery of these systems have prompted a reconsideration of the agreement. The report indicates that the delivery deadlines have been postponed several times in recent months, causing dissatisfaction in Bucharest. The media outlet emphasized that if the situation persists, there is a possibility the contract could be completely cancelled. Yedioth Ahronoth also noted that the extended delays have been linked to recent regional developments and tensions, which they describe as military actions following operations by the United States and Israel against Iran. So far, Romanian officials have not publicly commented on their final decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Romania is reviewing canceling a $400 million drone contract with Israel due to repeated delivery delays and regional tensions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10000,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10001","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-important-news","category-international"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10001","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10001"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10001\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10001"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
