According to a report by Reuters on October 16, two sources with knowledge of the situation said on the 16th that France banned Israeli companies from participating in the upcoming naval trade fair. This is the latest incident highlighting the growing tension between the two allies. The report said that earlier this year, Paris banned Israeli companies from participating in a military trade fair. The French Ministry of Defense said at the time that because French President Emmanuel Macron was “calling for a cease-fire in Israel in Gaza,” the conditions for Israeli companies to participate in the exhibition were no longer appropriate. Preparations are under way for the European International Naval Equipment Exhibition, which will be held from November 4 to 7. The report said that the tense relationship between Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Macron has intensified in recent weeks. Also, according to an AFP report on October 16, according to a French government decision, the Israeli delegation will not be allowed to set up booths or display hardware at the European International Naval Equipment Exhibition to be held in France next month. The exhibition organizers made the above statement on the 16th, which aroused anger in Israel. The report said that after France made this decision, Israeli Defense Minister Gallant criticized French President Emmanuel Macron, calling the move “shameful.” Gallant said on social networking platform X: “Macron's actions are shameful to France and the free world values he claims to uphold. This decision is the second time the Israeli defense industry has faced discrimination in France, which helped Israel's enemies during the war.” He also said, “We will continue to defend our country on seven different fronts and fight for our future, with or without France.”
