## Resource

France has slapped Israel with a major diplomatic and commercial blow by banning its participation in Eurosatory, the world’s premier arms show, cutting off government reps, the national pavilion, and forcing Israeli firms to display only defensive gear—no offense allowed. Israel’s defense ministry called it “disgraceful,” accusing France of political and commercial motives, while Paris cites Israel’s actions in Lebanon and the Gaza conflict as justification. This isn’t the first time—Israeli firms were also shut out of last year’s Euronaval and Paris Air Show. The fallout reflects deepening tensions between the two nations, with France’s recognition of Palestinian statehood and Israel’s retaliatory halt on French arms deals fueling the rift. For global defense giants, this exclusion sends a stark message: geopolitics is now front and center at the world’s biggest military expos.
