Dubai airshow bars Israeli companies from exhibiting

Israeli defence companies have been barred from the upcoming Dubai Airshow after a "technical review", its organiser said on Tuesday, without providing further details, two years into Israel's war on Gaza.

"The (Israeli) exhibitors that were previously coming won't be participating," said Tim Hawes, managing director of Informa Markets, which organises the show, on the sidelines of a press conference to announce details of the exhibition.
