France closes Israeli arms companies’ pavilions at Eurosatory

PARIS, June 15 (YPA) – The management of the Eurosatory International Defense and Security Exhibition in Paris boarded up the pavilions of Israeli arms manufacturers, in an indication of escalating political tension between France and Israel over the war on Gaza.

Photos published by the Israeli Ministry of Defense showed that the exhibition management completely blocked the pavilions of Israeli defense industry companies during the night.

French authorities had informed the occupation’s Ministry of Defense in early June that they would not allow the establishment of an Israeli national pavilion at the exhibition held between June 15 and 19, and would prevent the participation of government representatives, allowing only some companies to display air and missile defense systems without offensive weapons.
