(Oct. 8, 2025 / JNS) Israeli defense companies have been banned from the biennial Dubai Airshow after a “technical review,” organizers said on Tuesday

All six Israeli companies registered to exhibit at the Nov. 17-21 event had their participation withdrawn, with organizers providing no further explanation for the move.

“There was a technical review which we do of all companies that take part in the show,” AFP quoted Tim Hawes, managing director of show organizer Informa Markets, as saying. He added that the decision was made by the airshow’s technical committee.
