A French decision to close 12 Israeli pavilions at an arms exhibition angers Tel Aviv

France's closure of 12 pavilions of Israeli companies at the Eurosatori defense exhibition near Paris angered Tel Aviv, as the organizing company justified the move by not complying with conditions set by the French authorities, while the Israeli Ministry of Defense accused Paris of trying to hide its "technological superiority" amid rising tension in relations after recognizing a Palestinian state and preventing Israeli ministers from entering the country.
