France's ban on Israeli weapons at Eurosatory 'shameful', says economy minister
Speaking to FRANCE 24, Nir Barkat, Israel's economy minister called France's decision to ban Israeli offensive weapons from the Eurosatory defence fair "shameful", warning that Israel would "bypass France" to reach its customers. He argued Israel had "no choice but to eliminate" Iran's capabilities, and said he preferred "to be alive and deal with my image" rather than worry about Israel's battered reputation abroad.
