In the Iranian drone attack against the Jewish state, France limited itself to the “defense” of its military bases in the Middle East. No French military assets have been deployed in Israeli skies.
Jerusalem has officially associated Paris, with its other allies such as Washington, in its thanks for their support. The game seems open, the military but especially diplomatic situation should evolve this Sunday, with the G7 meeting initiated by the U.S. president, Joe Biden. The famous Operation Chammal air base, in the Jordanian desert, is surrounded with the greatest discretion and does not bear a precise name. Is this support, implicit or not, likely to evolve, particularly in terms of intelligence, if the Iranian offensive continues? The G7 is scheduled to take place in Italy on Sunday. The meeting is expected to last for two days, starting on Friday, and ending on Sunday, before moving on to the G8 summit in Italy. The G8 will be hosted by Italy, and the G20 by the United States.
