Overview

• The Centre Delàs report documents 134 arms transactions between Spain and Israel since October 2023, including €1.044 billion in defense contracts and €5.3 million in ammunition exports.
• Spanish territory has served as a key transit hub for U.S. weapons destined for Israel, facilitated by the 1990 Rota agreement, which limits Spain's ability to inspect shipments.
• The Spanish government continues to deny authorizing arms exports to Israel, citing reviews of licenses, yet no previously approved licenses have been revoked under Article 6.3 of the arms-export law.
• Following media revelations, the government suspended a €6 million Interior Ministry contract for Israeli ammunition but has not taken broader action against other contracts or exports.
• Spain ranks as the fifth-largest EU supplier of arms and ammunition to Israel during the conflict, despite its public stance supporting Palestine and advocating for a two-state solution.
