France canceled Israeli arms manufacturers' participation in the Eurosatory defense exhibition on Friday after the Israeli army's deadly bombing of a displacement camp in Rafah sparked international outrage and protests in France. Coges Events, which organizes the event, said: “By decision of government authorities, there will be no pavilion for Israeli defense industries at Eurosatory 2024.”

According to the French Ministry of the Armed Forces, “conditions are no longer met to receive Israeli companies at the French exhibition, in the context of the President of the Republic’s demand to stop Israeli operations in Rafah.” In response to a question from Agence France-Presse, the Israeli embassy in France did not immediately respond. “According to the statements of the President of the Republic, there is an urgent need to reach a ceasefire that simultaneously guarantees the protection of the population in Gaza, the release of all hostages and full access to humanitarian aid,” the Ministry of the Armed Forces said in a statement.
