Report reveals French arms exports to Israeli occupation

SANAA, June 19 (YPA) – Ten non-government organizations (NGOs), including “Stop Arming Israel and the Boycott”, “Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement”, have revealed that France has continued to supply Israeli entity with weapons since the beginning of the genocide war in Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, based on official data from the Israeli tax authority.

According to a report issued by these organizations, the shipments exported by sea and air included bombs, missiles, artillery, and rifle accessories, totaling more than 15 million Category I items and 1,868 Category II items, valued at more than nine million euros.

The report also documented the transfer of F-35 aircraft parts to Israeli occupation via Charles de Gaulle Airport, reinforcing concerns about French complicity in supporting Israeli crimes.

In April, eight organizations, including Amnesty International, launched urgent legal proceedings to suspend arms deliveries, while more than 24 UN experts had previously warned of the danger of continued arms exports to the occupation.
