Israel condemned France's decision to erect partition walls around Israeli weapons booths at the Paris Air Show, calling it an "outrageous" attempt to isolate Israeli exhibitors. French authorities stated that the walls were erected because Israeli firms refused to remove offensive weapons, citing concerns about the situation in Gaza. Israel alleges the move is motivated by a desire to protect French companies from competition, while France maintains it's a matter of diplomatic policy. The Israeli defense ministry plans legal action. Defensive weapons and some smaller stands remain accessible.
