What happened
France increased military equipment deliveries to Israel in 2025 compared to 2024, according to a report from the French Defense Ministry to parliament. In 2025, France delivered €19.8 million worth of military equipment to Israel, up from €16.1 million the previous year. Separately, labor organizations prevented a shipment of components for Elbit Systems via an Air France flight from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Ben-Gurion International Airport, protesting events in the Gaza Strip.
Why it matters
The increased volume of military equipment sales from France to Israel reflects sustained defense industry activity. Furthermore, component shipments from French companies to the Israeli defense industry contribute to the defense sector's trade, despite the limited financial scope of these sales.
