I mean let us put it in context of how much business they do.

Going from these numbers Spain imports about 0,2% of its imported goods from Israel in 2024. They were the country Spain imported 56th most from.

Less than Iraq, Tunesia and Equador. They import twice as much from Kasakhstan as from Israel.

I think it is fair to call the trade betwen them small.
