PARIS — France has decided to ban Israeli companies from the Euronaval trade show that kicks off in early November, one person with first-hand knowledge of the issue told POLITICO.

Israeli delegations will be able to attend the event but contractors cannot showcase their military equipment at booths, the person added after being granted anonymity to discuss a matter that isn't public yet.

The French Euronaval ban is the latest row in a series of diplomatic fallouts between President Emmanuel Macron and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as Israel's military ramps up its attacks in Gaza and Lebanon.

I'm not mad, I'm just trying to express how little this accomplishes besides pr. Maybe you've forgotten how he was the first to ban Palestinian flags and protests, deeming them as terrorist.

He did? He's been one of the more vocal European leaders about Palestine so I wonder where the change of heart came from.

Wait, antiimmigrant, islamophobe, buddy of fascists Macaron wants votes from muslims? Did he fell out of Kopmala coconut tree or something?

They actually get contracts by showing stuff off at these shows. This will cost Israel money.
