French Foreign Minister Supports Israeli Companies at Euronaval Trade Show
Israeli companies whose equipment was not used in offensive actions in Gaza and Lebanon will be allowed to showcase their products at the upcoming Euronaval trade show, despite reports of a ban from the French government. French Foreign Minister, Jean-Noel Barrot, confirmed that Israeli companies are welcome to participate in the trade show.
Barrot emphasized that the ban was not a boycott against Israeli companies, but rather a measure to ensure that only products not used in offensive actions will be displayed. France has reiterated its support for Israel but maintains the stance of preventing the promotion of arms that have caused harm to civilian populations.
The decision comes amidst tensions between French President Emmanuel Macron and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with Macron calling for a halt in arms shipments to Israel due to their actions in Gaza and Lebanon. Despite the controversy, Israeli companies will have the opportunity to exhibit their products at Euronaval.
