A surprising incident took place during the Paris Air Show held in Paris, the French capital. The Israeli weapons exhibition was banned during the Paris Air Show (16 to 22 June). That is, during the aircraft, a big decision was taken against the Israeli Defense Industry, which raises questions whether this is the fear of France? Has Israeli weapons power and their technology disturb France? The Israeli media reports stated that preventing the public exhibition of Israeli weapons means that the difference between Israeli weapons technology and global weapons has been revealed. The French media has said that it shows that France is now feeling the real challenge in the market from Israeli’s defense technology.
However, France has large weapon -old decades old companies such as Dassault and Thales, who have done excellent work in technological innovation. These companies have created many big defense platforms while Israel decided to follow France on a completely different route. While France was working towards making heavy weapons, Israel worked towards creating weapons that carry out very fast, tight and low -cost, but highly accurate attacks. Due to which, Israel has many highly advanced and accurate attack weapons today.
Ban on Israeli weapons exhibition in France
Let us tell you that France had closed the stand of the main Israeli company in Paris Airsho. France had argued behind this, saying that the Israeli company had refused to remove the attacking weapons from the protest. But France’s decision has instigated Israel’s anger and has given a sharp reaction from Israel. The Paris Air Show is considered to be the world’s largest aviation fair and is a major setback for Israel to stop the public performance of Israeli weapons. According to a report by news agency Reuters, Israeli defense companies such as Albit Systems Stand, Rafial, IAI and Uvision were discontinued before the start of the world’s largest aviation trade fair. Although some small Israeli weapons stands were open during this period, they did not have hardware for performance. Apart from this, the stand of the Israeli Defense Ministry was also open.
Let us tell you that France and Israel have been ally for a long time, but France has constantly criticized and deeply condemned the Israeli attacks in Gaza. France is adopting more strict stance against the Israeli attacks in Gaza, which has made the government of Benjamin Netanyahu uncomfortable. French President Emmanuel Macron questioned Israel’s ‘right to protect’ last week and made a statement against the attack on Iran. At the same time, the office of French Prime Minister Francois Bayaru had said that France had told all the exhibitions before the air show that there would be a ban on aggressive weapons performance and the Israeli embassy in Paris had agreed to this. It said that “if companies follow it, they can resume their performance.”
But Israeli Defense Expert Tekle Meconen has questioned France’s attitude, saying that the success of Israel’s defense technology is reflected not only in war but also in the economy. The country’s defense industry earns billions of dollars every year, thousands of engineers get employment and Israel’s innovation is also continuously reaching new heights. This is the reason why the countries of Africa, Asia and Gulf are now getting attracted to Israeli systems compared to older weapons like France and that is why France is afraid of Israel and stopping the exhibition of Israeli weapons.
