Gaza war: French arms sales to Israel marked by lack of transparency and control (MEE)

France’s parliamentary hearing on annual arms exports was postponed indefinitely after the government faced a censure vote. Originally set for November, the session was delayed to December 11 but has now been shelved. The hearing was expected to address arms sales to Israel amid its war on Gaza, marking the first discussion on the issue since October 2023. Despite international condemnation of Israel’s violations of international law, including an ICC arrest warrant for Prime Minister Netanyahu, details of French military exports to Israel remain undisclosed.
