Israel’s defense minister has criticized France’s decision to ban Israeli companies from participating in the upcoming Euronaval expo in Paris. The move has been described as 'a disgrace to the French nation' by Yoav Gallant, who believes that barring Israeli firms from the naval show could potentially aid Israel’s enemies during times of conflict.
French President Emmanuel Macron has also called for the suspension of arms sales to Israel, particularly in light of the recent conflict in Gaza. Macron has been advocating for a ceasefire in both Gaza and Lebanon, a proposal that Israel has openly opposed.
