The Israeli Link To The Spanish Train Crash - Now Unions Want Them GONE

Right, so the internet's latest whodunit is spinning out a tale of possible Israeli involvement in the recent Spanish rail crash, and so much so, the demands for Israeli influence and involvement in Spain’s rail industry have returned to the fore. The railway workers of Spain are trying to reinstate their old demand to kick out the Israeli-affiliated security contractor you see. According to La Voz de Galicia, the trade union CGT Galicia had asked rail operator Renfe to end its contract with I-SEC back in June 2025 over Israel’s genocide in Gaza. I-SEC is the Amsterdam-based private security company, which through its parent company, ICTS International, is a security group whose origins CGT traced to former Israeli security personnel, including people connected to Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security service. That is the Israeli connection behind the workers’ objection. The cause of the accident obviously remains under investigation despite all the blame being thrown around. Renfe, Spain’s state-run train company, is in the middle of this dispute. I-SEC’s own January 2024 announcement describes three Renfe contracts involving approximately 700 guards, covering station and workshop surveillance, custody of trains and accompanying services. The employees want a different contractor: a company unconnected to Israel. Management therefore faces a clear choice. Should they stick with the existing supplier or find a new one, given the troops so to speak aren’t happy, because nothing says “we condemn genocide” quite like continuing to pay the same contractors connected to Israel. And if you thought that the Israeli connection was just that though, think again. Cylus is a separate Israeli company that deals in cybersecurity for railways, because there’s nothing like a little military experience to help you on your commute is there?
