France on June 16, 2025, blocked access to the stands of five Israeli arms manufacturers at the Paris Air show for displaying "offensive weapons", according to a French government source. The stands were blocked off by black tarps for showing "offensive weapons", including those used in Gaza, which allegedly violated terms made with Israel, said the source. The Israeli government condemned the "scandalous" decision in a statement, calling it a form of "segregation" against the Israeli companies.
