France issue spectrum

Israeli government: diplomatic & security support
Reviewed evidence does not establish a numerical placement. No midpoint or party-based score is substituted.
Measures policy toward the Israeli government, not attitudes toward Jewish people or Israeli civilians. Diplomatic recognition alone does not establish an arms-policy score.

Method: use attributable votes, enacted measures, statements or a candidate’s own platform; identify source type and date; map the stated policy to the nearest defined step. Primary sources take priority. A supported interval is shown as a range, with no invented midpoint. Reviewed sources that do not establish the position are labeled “Not established”; this is not a finding that the politician has no position. No cross-issue total is calculated. Rubric v1.
