France bans the display of Israeli offensive weapons at the 2026 Eurosatory international defence and security exhibition, organisers announced. The decision applies to how weapons are shown at the show, which is scheduled to open on 15 June in France. Organisers say the ban is based on a French government decision. Separate reporting indicates that, while the display of specific categories of offensive weapons is prohibited, Israeli defence systems are still allowed to participate in the exhibition. The Israeli defence ministry criticizes the move, calling it inappropriate, while French organisers cite the national decision as the basis for the restrictions. Multiple outlets describe the action as likely to increase political and diplomatic tension between France and Israel, but the measures are presented as specific to the exhibition’s display rules rather than a complete exclusion from the event. The dispute centers on which equipment can be publicly displayed at Eurosatory 2026 rather than whether Israeli firms can attend or be present with authorised systems.
