Paris cargo workers refuse to load Elbit shipment onto El Al flight bound for Israel
The boycott comes as the latest example of Israeli defense companies facing discriminatory issues in France following the October 7 attacks.
In France, employees of a cargo firm have defied orders to load an Elbit Systems security package onto an El Al aircraft destined for Israel, according to N12 News. On Friday, Israeli security officials attempted to ease the situation, the report added. The employees of Paris-based Cargo were organizing a boycott of the loading operation, the document further revealed.
The boycott represents the recent instances of Israeli defense companies facing discrimination in France following the October 7 attacks. In June, 14 Israeli companies were prevented from showcasing their systems during the opening day of the Eurostarry weapons exhibition in Paris, while the remaining 30 agreed to the discriminatory policy that limited them to presenting only defensive solutions at the world's biggest international exhibition for land and air-land defense and security.
Elbit was among the companies permitted to display its platforms. Yonah Jeremy Bob and Anna Ahronheim contributed to this report.
