The Interior and Defense Departments maintain large contracts with Israeli arms companies.

The contract for 15 million rounds of ammunition to supply the Civil Guard is not the only one the government has with Israeli arms companies . Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska and Defense Minister Margarita Robles continue to violate the commitment made by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez not to buy or sell weapons to Israel under multi-million-dollar contracts. To defend the contracts, the Interior Ministry argues that the materials are used to protect members of the security forces; the Defense Ministry argues that the Hebrew components currently have no replaceable components.

On April 13, the Ministry of the Interior formalized the contract for Level IV ballistic plates valued at €319,331 with the Israeli arms company Guardian Homeland Security . The ministry defends this contract, despite the rebuke given to Marlaska by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez yesterday, because it involves the protective plates included in the Civil Guard's bulletproof vests. If this contract generates controversy, the same sources advance, it will be explained that they are intended for the Gibraltar operation, where officers are fighting relentlessly against increasingly heavily armed drug traffickers.

Robles maintains the €576 million contract for the innovative High Mobility Rocket Launcher (Silam) system, which aims to provide the Army with the ability to provide highly accurate fire support—improving the performance of the Teruel launchers. The Government signed for its manufacture by Escribano and Expal, but the technology is provided by the Israeli company Elbit . On Monday the 14th, the Minister of Defense toured the facilities where this project is being carried out under an Israeli technology license.

The Government's new plan It also includes a project with the participation of the Israeli company Elbit.

There is another weapons project under the umbrella of the Ministry of Defense with an Israeli designation that, for the moment, cannot be replaced. As stated in the Procurement Portal, Robles has not ordered the cancellation of the supply of 168 SPIKE anti-tank missile launchers for €237 million. The award took place on November 23, 2023, following Israel's offensive in Gaza. With this purchase, the Ministry of Defense intends to replace the veteran TOW missile, while modernizing the anti-tank defense of the Army and the Marines. The department headed by Robles maintains that the program was awarded to the Spanish company Pap-Tecnos, despite being fully aware that its technology supplier is the Israeli company Rafael . Nor is it "replaceable," they assert.

The fine print of the new defense and security plan launched by the government to try to achieve 2% of GDP in military spending also includes a project in which the Israeli company Elbit is once again involved. Included in the new technologies section is the program for a new joint tactical radio system (STR). Developed by Telefónica, Aicox, and Elbit, the goal is to supply a communications system—increasingly used by more NATO countries—to the Army's combat vehicles, replacing primitive radios. It has been allocated €350 million.
