Israeli Firms Barred From Dubai Air Show as Regional Furor Grows

Israeli weapons makers have been barred from one of the world’s biggest aerospace expos in the United Arab Emirates amid rising anger in the Gulf at Israel’s Gaza offensive and an unprecedented airstrike on Qatar this week.

Organizers of the Dubai Air Show, which takes place in November, sent a letter to a handful of Israeli firms informing them they would not be permitted to participate this year, according to a senior official who declined to be identified by name or nationality while discussing sensitive matters.
