The Deterioration in Relations with France Continues

Workers at a cargo company in Paris refused to load a security shipment from Elbit Systems onto an El Al flight to Israel. The workers' committee decided to boycott the shipment. Israeli security officials are involved in efforts to resolve the crisis, amid growing tensions between the two countries.

Workers at the cargo company Cargo at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris refused to load a security shipment from Elbit Systems onto an El Al flight scheduled to depart for Israel tomorrow. The workers' committee decided to boycott the shipment and prevent it from being loaded onto the plane. Israeli security officials are involved in efforts to resolve the crisis and allow the transfer of the cargo. The incident joins a series of events indicating a deterioration in relations between Israel and France. Since the outbreak of the Swords of Iron war, tensions have escalated, and in June of this year, booths of Israeli companies were blocked at the Eurosatory arms exhibition in France, even though the companies met the French government's requirements to display only defensive weapons.
