“Disgrace”: Macron slammed by “Israeli” defense minister after naval arms fair ban

“Israeli” Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on Wednesday slammed French President Emmanuel Macron, calling him a "disgrace" after “Israeli” delegations were banned from exhibiting at the Euronaval defense show.

"Macron's actions are a disgrace to the French nation and the values of the free world, which he claims to uphold. The decision to discriminate against Israeli defense industries in France a second time - aids Israel's enemies during war," Gallant said in a post on X.
