DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Israeli defense companies have been barred from the upcoming Dubai Airshow after a “technical review,” its organizer says, without providing further details, on the two-year anniversary of Hamas’s October 7, 2023, massacre.
“The [Israeli] exhibitors that were previously coming won’t be participating,” says Tim Hawes, managing director of Informa Markets, which organizes the show, on the sidelines of a press conference to announce details of the exhibition.
