Tel Aviv: Overnight, the management of the Eurosatory exhibition boarded up Israeli defence industry pavilions, despite these companies having met the French government’s outrageous demands and displayed solely defensive systems, according to the Israeli Ministry of Defence.
The ministry said that this is a cynical, discriminatory, and unsurprising move aimed at shutting Israeli technology out of an international exhibition – technology whose quality is proven daily across the Middle East.
”The Israel Ministry of Defence will continue driving Israeli defence exports to new global heights, despite French efforts to conceal Israeli technological superiority from the world,” it said.
The French authorities acted that same way last year. Some visitors found the way to see the Israeli display in spite of the French act.
