JERUSALEM, Oct 16, 2024 (AFP) - 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 defence 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 defence industries in France a second time - aids Israel's enemies during war," said Gallant in a post on X.
