French Officials Target Israeli Products at Eurosatory Defense Expo

Tensions flared at the Eurosatory arms exhibition in France as French supervisors reportedly insisted on concealing Israeli products integrated into American displays.

As reported by Kann News, according to insiders at the exhibition, French supervisors approached the American booth and demanded that Israeli-manufactured components within the showcased systems be obscured from view.

Despite stringent regulations barring Israeli arms companies from direct participation, a Spanish defense firm boldly showcased a cutting-edge missile system equipped with an Israeli "Elbit" turret. The system, part of a recent $53 million deal, represents a significant integration of Israeli technology into broader defense initiatives despite political headwinds.

Outside the exhibition halls, pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered to protest what they perceive as ongoing arms trade with Israel.

The French court's decision last month to enforce the ban on Israeli participation not only prohibited Israeli nationals from attending but also signaled a broader crackdown on any representation linked to Israeli arms manufacturers.

This move has prompted further legal challenges, with advocacy groups arguing that the exclusion of Israeli presence does not necessarily eliminate their influence on international defense contracts.
