FALCON POWERS – The French Ministry of Defense and the organizers of the annual Eurosatory arms and defense exhibition announced on Friday that France has banned Israeli companies from participating in the exhibition to be held in the city of Villepinte near Paris next month.
A spokesman for the exhibition organizers said in an email, “By decision of the government authorities, there will be no Israeli exhibition section at Eurosatory 2024.”
The Ministry of Defense told Reuters, “The conditions were not met to host Israeli companies in the exhibition at a time when the President is calling on Israel to halt its operations in Rafah.”
