France reportedly bans Israeli firms from naval trade show

France has banned Israeli firms from participating in an upcoming military naval trade show, two sources aware of the matter have told Reuters. 

The ban is in relation to an annual naval fair, organised by Euronaval, being held between 4 and 7 November. 

Earlier this year, Paris already banned Israeli firms from taking part in a military trade show. 

Tensions between France and Israel have emerged several times in recent weeks, particularly after Israeli forces wounded UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon.
