France bans Israeli firms from Europe’s biggest defense show

Visitors stand at the booth of the Israeli defense technology company Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) at the Eurosatory defense and security trade fair near Paris on June 13, 2022.

PARIS — France has banned Israeli firms from participating in Eurosatory, Europe’s largest defense show, a little over two weeks before the event kicks off in Paris, with the government citing Israel’s military actions in Gaza.

“At the request of the French authorities, Israeli companies will not be present at Eurosatory,” the French Armed Forces Ministry said in an emailed statement on Friday. “Conditions are no longer suited to welcome Israeli companies to the French show, in a context where the President is calling for Israeli operations in Rafah to stop.”


French President Emmanuel Macron this week repeatedly called for Israel to halt operations in the Palestinian city of Rafah, saying on Monday he was outraged by Israeli strikes that killed many displaced people. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been a topic of hot debate in France, and Armed Forces Minister Sebastien Lecornu has faced multiple questions from lawmakers in recent months about the country’s defense exports to Israel.

More than 70 Israeli companies had been scheduled to participate in the Eurosatory defense show, which officially kicks off in Paris on June 17. That included Israel’s three largest defense firms, Israel Aerospace Industries, Elbit Systems and Rafael Advance Defense Systems. Elbit has been planning to present its PULS multiple-rocket launcher and the Sigma next-generation howitzer, the firm told Defense News before news of the ban.

In line with the French government decision, there will be no stand from the Israeli defense and security industry at Eurosatory 2024, according to show organizer Coges Events, which declined further comment.

Israel was the world’s ninth-largest arms exporter in the 2019-2023 period, accounting for an average 2.4% of global arms exports, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.

The country’s defense exports rose 9.7% to a record U.S. $12.5 billion in 2022, according to the most recent figures reported by the Ministry of Defense, with $3.67 billion for Europe. Unmanned aerial vehicles and related drone systems made up a quarter of Israel’s 2022 defense exports, with missiles, rockets and air-defense systems accounting for about a fifth.

President Macron is really upset and now showing his card.

Another heavy blow to Israel, no more pampering.

If I have a child that doesn't listen to me and my advice, I would reprimand and repudiate such mischievous child and withdraw all my support.

One day the americans will get tired of them too

Israel has broken so many international humanitarian law in Gaza. Reasonable countries want to stay away from them.

Observe the individuals up there speaking nonsense, thinking it will dissuade Israel from taking action against Hamas. Israel has anticipated these reactions and is fully prepared.

You may impose bans and engage in futile efforts, but Israel remains unconcerned. The objective is clear: Hamas must be eliminated entirely, down to the last member. The rantings of terrorist supporters, who are inconsequential in this matter, will not alter the outcome.

Exactly...don't mind them islamist...Israel got nothing to lose not appearing in the expo..!!

Their weapons are tested and trusted and the world know this for a fact...they have their market and with or without the expo Israel would still make big sales in the weapon market...!!

Macron is simply afraid of backlash from the islamist the French people stupidly allowed into their country...!!

Israel still win here and would continue to win till all objectives are met in gaza..!!!

More bombs to IDF jets and more bullets to their guns...!!!

Good.

Everyone's revealing themselves subtly now. They're tired of concealing the fake love they all have for Israel and it's better this way..

Islamic terrorists have been terrorizing the world's peace with every chance they get, infiltrating and perpetrating evil against humanity through several countries..

While countries like Nigeria and most African countries are playing wicked politics with them, Israel has decided to say no to killings of its people by them. Countries who have never experienced the harsh realities of terrorism are angry. Can you imagine !?

Israel please continue the LORD'S work, until they surrender on their own...

They got money for wars but they cannot feed the poor…

Hamas have mastered the act of propaganda, they have been planning these propaganda for years using victim actors,TV channels (aljazeera etc) et all.

The civilised world is not fair to Israel in this war, no push for hamas to release that hostages even when Israel asked for a list of those still alive and a list of those they intend to release, hamas refused, the world didn't pressure hamas to release the hostage .

What will a cease fire of Israel that have the upper hand in this war benefit Israel?

No hostage will be released as hamas has killed most of them or they don't even know where they or their dead body are.

Hamas will still remain as a governing body to gaza

Even when hamas leader speak, they speak with annoying pride without care of their civilian whom they use as human shield while they enjoy in doha qatar,and turkey .

Israel needs to finish off hamas in rafah quickly and then friends will come back.

One more questions for pro Palestinian, what was hamas expecting will be Israel reaction after October 7th ?

Withdrawing support because the World has seen Israel for what it is. The Jewish state of Israel is not fit to be independent, it should be recolonised by stronger powers in the future.

Fvck France!!! Who cares? Same France that Islamic terrorists are dealing with?

Oh Israel, on your mandate we stand!!!

They know themselves....it's the way of their play...and you will think there fighting but they're not. So don't praise or condemn

Clowns. As though they are not guilty of the same crime in a different shade in their several African colonies.

Jokers

I actually supported Isreal from the onset, but it's high time to bury the hatchet. Do they think they can eliminate entire group, you can only subdue them, which they have done..

It's time to walk the path of peace!

Nobody can kill an entire group..except you want to kill their children, children children all at once, which cannot be possible..

For how long will you keep saying trash and throwing empty boasts around for a shitty IDF that has yet to release a single hostage alive for 8 months now?

For how long do you think the west will keep giving weapons to a useless military that can't defeat Hamas in spite of using freely-donated state of the art ammo? This past week, Hamas still roasted many of them right there in Gaza.

And have you seen how Hezbollah has taken over northern Israel?

Israel is finished this time around and nothing can save it.
