Israeli pavilions on the airshow have been left unstaffed as a consequence of safety issues.
Israeli pavilions on the Dubai Airshow this week have been left unstaffed. The rationale for the empty stalls has been unclear however “Globes” has realized that the Ministry of Protection instantly ordered Israeli employees to not attend due to safety issues on account of the battle.
Whereas Israel Aerospace Industries and Rafael Superior Protection Methods have been hit by the instruction, Elbit Methods is much less affected as a result of it operates via an area UAE subsidiary with personnel that’s staffing the protection electronics firm’s stall.
1,400 firms from 95 international locations are taking part within the biennial Dubai Airshow. Following the signing of the Abraham Accords in 2020, Israeli firms participated within the Dubai Airshow for the primary time in 2021.
Israel’s Ministry of Protection stated, “Following the battle scenario in Israel and the safety threats in opposition to Israelis overseas, the request to participate by staff of Israeli protection firms at protection exhibitions is being examined in mild of the threats. There is no such thing as a blanket ban on participation in exhibitions.”
