Public institutions in European Union countries are signing profitable contracts with Israeli companies despite Israel’s long track record of war crimes in the Gaza Strip and occupied West Bank, data collected by Statewatch show. The figures showed Spain, among Europe’s most vocal critics of Israel, agreed to 14 contracts worth almost 227 million euros ($257m) from January 2022 to July 2025. The majority of that sum – 207 million euros ($235m) – stems from an April 2024 contract between the Spanish Defence Ministry and Rafael for “aerial combat systems”.
