JAKARTA - The French government has banned Israel's participation in the Eurosatory defense exhibition to be held in Paris at the end of June.
As reported by ANTARA from WAFA, Tuesday, June 2, the decision made the Israeli Ministry of Defense unable to participate and set up an official booth at the exhibition.
According to a statement released by the French government, Israeli officials were also banned from attending and Israeli-made offensive weapons were not allowed to be displayed.
However, Israeli air defense systems and related products are still allowed to be included in the exhibition.
France's decision comes amid rising tensions with Israel over the war in Lebanon and the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip, Palestine.
The move also coincided with France's increasing criticism of Israel's policies as well as the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza.
