Israeli Companies to Participate in Eurosatory 2026 Amidst Tensions with France
Over 30 Israeli defense companies, including major players like Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, Elbit Systems, and Israel Aerospace Industries, are set to participate in the Eurosatory defense exhibition in France. This decision comes despite Israel's recent halt in defense procurement from France, following accusations of a hostile stance by the French government. The tensions have been exacerbated by France's recognition of a Palestinian state and restrictions on Israeli defense companies at previous exhibitions. The participation in Eurosatory is seen as an opportunity for Israeli companies to showcase their capabilities and engage with global defense players.
