France Bans Israeli Companies from Defense Fair

The French Defence Ministry has announced that Israel will not have a stand at the Eurosatory 2024 fair, citing "conditions no longer met" for hosting Israeli companies. This decision comes after 74 Israeli firms were initially set to participate in the event from June 17 to 21. According to reports, this move is linked to France's opposition to Israel's ongoing invasion of Rafah. However, it is worth noting that the Israeli government has not publicly commented on the matter, with only a spokesperson for the organizers confirming the decision.
