Israeli aerospace companies are claiming discrimination by the French government and Paris Air Show organizer SIAE after their show floor exhibits were partially blocked from public view on Monday morning by show organizers.

A representative from Elbit Systems, one of the companies whose display was obstructed, spoke to AIN on the condition of anonymity and claimed that the move came as a surprise. The representative said that they were initially contacted around 6 p.m. on Sunday by Paris Air Show organizers.
