Hawzah News Agency- Journalists have reported that a recent investigation uncovered a French company, Sermat, which supplied alternators and other components destined for drones used by the Israeli military. Although these items are used in weapon systems, they were not classified as military material under French export rules, enabling their shipment without the usual authorisation. The protestors argue this loophole permits continued supply even as other European states suspend their military exports to Israel.
The demonstration fits into a broader strategy combining legal challenges, union action and NGO advocacy to pressure the French government. Critics warn that France may be failing to uphold its international obligations by allowing arms and dual-use exports that could be used in operations characterised by the term ‘genocidal war’. The protestors assert this raises serious questions about state responsibility and ethical export-control policy.
