Increasing pressure on the French government to stop selling weapons to the Zionist regime
| A French media reported that the country's government has been pressured to cut off arms sales to Israel in the midst of the Gaza war. |
According to the international group Tasnim News Agency, the France 24 website reported that the opposition groups in France, the government “Emmanuel Macron” has been pressured to stop arms sales to Israel.
According to this report, non-governmental organizations and members of left-wing groups have increased pressure on the government of “Emmanuel Macron” to reconsider the sale of weapons to Israel in the midst of the Gaza war.
France 24 writes that French defense equipment companies including “Dassault”, “Tails” and “MBDA” have already been criticized for selling weapons to Saudi Arabia and the UAE that were used in the Yemen war.
In Israel, however, it is unclear whether French companies are selling dual-use weapons to Israel. France 24 claims that these companies may have reconsidered their sales licenses to Israeli parties.
The head of Amnesty International in France this week in a public letter to Emmanuel Macron asked him to stop selling all weapons and military equipment to Israel.
In addition, the representatives of the left-wing LFI party in the French Parliament have repeatedly criticized French government officials for sending weapons to Israel. End of message/
The Shuheibar case is not unique. Other French defense companies – including Dassault, Thalès and MBDA – are facing charges of “complicity in war crimes” over weapons sales reportedly made to the UAE and Saudi Arabia, which has spearheaded a regional coalition to fight the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
But in the context of the current war in Gaza, and following the provisional measures issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) last month and the pending ruling – which could have profound repercussions for international jurisprudence – the Shuheibar case raises some lingering questions.
