Paris Blocks Israeli Participation in Prestigious Eurosatory Exhibition
France has informed Israel that it will not be allowed to participate officially in the upcoming Eurosatory defense exhibition in Paris, citing restrictions on the display of offensive defense systems. The Israeli Defense Ministry has condemned the move, calling it a ‘disgraceful decision’ that reflects a ‘deeply troubling pattern’ in French conduct. The ministry argues that the restrictions are being applied ‘selectively and discriminatorily’ and are in direct violation of established norms governing international defense exhibitions.
