"Israeli Arms Industry Absent from Dubai Airshow Exhibits"

Israeli weapons makers, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, left their exhibition stands empty at the Dubai Airshow amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. It is unclear why there were no staff present, and the companies did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Meanwhile, Arab and Muslim nations have called for a halt in arms sales to Israel, and the mounting death toll in Gaza has sparked outrage in Arab capitals. Despite the international outcry, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) intends to maintain its diplomatic ties with Israel, which were established in 2020 under the U.S.-brokered Abraham Accords.
