The French official says that the Israeli “offensive weapons” are prohibited in a war in Gaza

French Prime Minister Francois Bayro defended the decision during a press conference on Monday at the air exhibition.

“The position of the French government was very simple: there are no offensive weapons in the weapons gallery,” he said. “Defense weapons were completely acceptable.”

Bayro cited the ongoing struggle in Gaza as the logical basis behind the embargo.

Bayro said: “Given France’s diplomatic options, especially anxiety, or in any case, major concerns about Gaza, we have not been able to show that there is a certain distance, which means that we did not believe that it is acceptable that the offensive weapons were like this.” “Since these offensive weapons were not withdrawn (by Israeli companies), we have temporarily, I hope, the stands have been closed.”

Israel calls on France’s decision to close “outrageous and unprecedented kiosks”

Israeli President Isaac Herzog said he was shocked by the “obscene” wings and said that the situation should “be corrected immediately.”

“Israeli companies have signed contracts with the organizers … it is like the establishment of the Israeli Jewish neighborhood,” said on the French TV channel LCI.

The Israeli Ministry of Defense said in a statement that “the obscene and unprecedented decision of policy and commercial considerations.”

“The French are hiding behind the assumed political considerations to exclude Israeli offensive weapons from an international exhibition – weapons competing with French industries,” he said. “This is especially amazing given the performance of impressive and accurate Israeli technologies in Iran.”

Israel launched sudden strikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites early on Friday, killing senior leaders and scholars, Tehran prompted a return with a barrel of missiles.

The Republican Governor in Arkansas Sarah Hakabi Sanders was at the Paris Show on Monday, and spoke with the correspondents, describing the decision of French officials as “very ridiculous”. Her father is Mike Hakapi, the current American ambassador to Israel and a strong supporter of the ongoing Israeli operations in Gaza.

The presence of Israeli companies in Le Bourget, although it is smaller than the past, was a source of tension before the start of the Paris Air Show, due to the conflict in Gaza.

Last week, a French court rejected an offer from NGOs to ban Israeli companies from Le Bourget about concerns about “international crimes”.

Local lawmakers were absent from the Ministry of Sayyin Dennis, which hosts this event during the Bayro visit to open the air exhibition in protest against the Israeli presence.
