RegendansIsrael to halt security procurement from 'hostile' France
Tensions have grown between Israel and France since Paris became critical of Israel's conduct in Lebanon
Israel has announced that it will be ending security procurement from Franceafter what it claimed was the country's "hostile" attitude in recent months, Israeli media reported.
An Israeli official told the Jerusalem Post the decision to stop the purchases was made under the directive of Defense Minister Israel Katz and Defense Ministry Director-General Amir Baram.
According to the Jerusalem Post, it was taken as a result of France adopting what the news outlet called a "hostile" attitude towards Israel, forcing it to "re-evaluate how much it could trust sharing its defence products with the country".
Israeli media cite Paris's support for a UN resolution calling for an arms embargo on Israel, for which France had actually abstained from voting, as well as French restrictions on Israeli participation in defence exhibitions.
