Spain has barred Israeli companies from participating in Madrid’s 2025 International Defence and Security Exhibition (FEINDEF). Israel and its companies are excluded from the FEINDEF, Defence Secretary Amparo Valcarce said in a statement, citing Spain’s commitment to peace in Palestine and Lebanon and adherence to international humanitarian law. The bans are linked to Spanish and French governments growing unease over Tel Aviv’s conduct in its ongoing wars in Gaza and Lebanon.
