The Paris Commercial Court has ruled in favor of Israeli companies, allowing them to participate in the upcoming Euronaval exhibition from November 4 to 7, overturning a previous ban imposed by the organizers at the behest of the French government. The court's decision mandates the suspension of measures against Israeli exhibitors until the conclusion of the event. This ruling comes amidst a backdrop of heightened tensions between France and Israel, particularly following France's earlier ban on Israeli participation in the Eurosatory arms fair due to military actions in Gaza.
Despite initial restrictions, the French government clarified that Israeli companies are welcome at Euronaval, provided they do not showcase military equipment linked to operations in Gaza and Lebanon. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz hailed the court's decision as a significant victory, emphasizing its importance in the context of Israel's ongoing conflicts.
