Jerusalem, 18 June, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Despite the French Government Ban, Israeli Defense Companies Were at the Center of the Eurosatory 2026 Exhibition in Paris
Israeli Defense industry firms’ booths at this year’s Eurosatory exhibition in Paris were visited by people from all over the world and were a “focal point of attraction” throughout the entire week of the exposition, said Israel’s Ministry of Defense in a statement.
Despite the French government’s decision to ban the holding of an Israeli national pavilion at the event, added the Ministry, prevent the participation of official representatives, and to restrict the display of Israeli products there, representatives of nations, defense ministries, armies, and defense industries from around the world visited the Israeli booths and discussed with the deepening of security and commercial cooperation with Israel with the various Israeli representatives.
The Israeli Defense Attaché in France, Colonel Shai Fink: “The extensive global interest in blue-and-white [Israeli] developments underscores the status of the Israeli defense industry in the world and aligns with the strategic advancement of the Ministry of Defense to increase Israeli defense exports as a tool for ensuring the IDF’s force buildup, influencing foreign policy, and strengthening the economy and the defense industry.”
