Geopolitics has collided with heavy industry. The Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) has reportedly used its massive shareholder influence to block a high-stakes defense partnership between German automaker Volkswagen and Israeli defense giant Rafael. The vetoed project aimed to convert VW’s struggling Osnabrück factory into a military production line for carrier vehicles supporting Israel's Iron Dome air defense system. The decision leaves the underutilized plant—and its 2,300 workers—facing an uncertain future. #Qatar #Volkswagen #Israel #IronDome #Germany #Defence #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #Europe Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
