The French government, in the name of discrimination is trying to hide them from you!&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>French official says Israeli &#8220;offensive weapons&#8221; barred amid war in Gaza <\/h2>\n<p>French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou defended the decision during a Monday press conference at the air show.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The French government&#8217;s position was very simple: no offensive weapons at the arms exposition,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Defensive weapons were perfectly acceptable.&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\n<p> Bayrou cited the ongoing conflict in Gaza as the rationale behind the ban.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Given France&#8217;s diplomatic choices, in particular the concern, or in any case, very great worries about Gaza, we could not not show that there was a certain distance, which meant that we did not think it acceptable that offensive weapons were in a show like that,&#8221; said Bayrou. &#8220;And as these offensive weapons were not withdrawn [by the Israeli companies], we have temporarily, I hope, closed the stands.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At the last Paris Air Show in 2023, Israeli companies &#8211; including at least one that was subject to the closure of its stall on Monday &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/defense-update.com\/20230618_new-israeli-weapons-on-display-at-the-paris-airshow.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">appear to have displayed<\/a> offensive weapons, including laser-guided bombs and rockets and attack drones.<\/p>\n<h2>Israel calls France&#8217;s decision to close stalls &#8220;outrageous and unprecedented&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Israeli President Isaac Herzog said he was shocked by the &#8220;outrageous&#8221; closure of the pavilions and said the situation should be &#8220;immediately corrected.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Israeli companies have signed contracts with the organizers&#8230; it&#8217;s like creating an Israeli ghetto,&#8221; he said on French television channel LCI.<\/p>\n<p> The Israeli defense ministry said in a statement that the &#8220;outrageous and unprecedented decision reeks of policy-driven and commercial considerations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The French are hiding behind supposedly political considerations to exclude Israeli offensive weapons from an international exhibition &#8211; weapons that compete with French industries,&#8221; it said. &#8220;This is particularly striking given Israeli technologies&#8217; impressive and precise performance in Iran.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Israel launched surprise strikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites early on Friday, killing top commanders and scientists, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/iran-hits-israel-with-barrage-of-missiles-killing-several-people-israel-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">prompting Tehran to hit back with a barrage of missiles<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Arkansas&#8217; Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders was at the Paris show on Monday and, speaking with reporters, she called the French officials&#8217; decision &#8220;pretty absurd.&#8221; Her father is Mike Huckabee, the current U.S. Ambassador to Israel and a staunch backer of the ongoing Israeli operations in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p> The presence of Israeli firms at Le Bourget, though smaller than in the past, was already a source of tension before the start of the Paris Air Show, because of the conflict in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p> A French court last week rejected a bid by NGOs to ban Israeli companies from Le Bourget over concerns about &#8220;international crimes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Local lawmakers from the Seine-Saint-Denis department hosting the event were absent during Bayrou&#8217;s visit to the opening of the air show in protest over the Israeli presence.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Never has the world been so disrupted and destabilized,&#8221; Bayrou said earlier at a roundtable event, urging nations to tackle challenges &#8220;together, not against each other.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2> Boeing focuses on support, not sales at Paris Air show after Air India crash<\/h2>\n<p>The row over Israel cast a shadow over a trade fair that is usually dominated by displays of the aerospace industry&#8217;s latest flying wonders, and big orders for plane makers Airbus and Boeing.<\/p>\n<p> Airbus announced an order of 30 single-aisle A320neo jets and 10 A350F freighters by Saudi aircraft leasing firm AviLease. The European manufacturer also said Riyadh Air was buying 25 long-range, wide-body A350-1000 jets.<\/p>\n<p> Boeing chief executive Kelly Ortberg last week cancelled plans to attend the biennial event, to focus on the investigation of the Air India crash.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Our focus is on supporting our customers, rather than announcing orders at this air show,&#8221; a Boeing spokeswoman told AFP on Monday.<\/p>\n<p> The London-bound Dreamliner crashed shortly after take-off in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad, killing 241 passengers and crew and another 38 on the ground. One passenger survived.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation
