Yedioth Ahronoth: UAE Decides to Prevent Israel from Participating in Air Military Exhibition After Attack on Qatar

SadaNews Translation - The Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth revealed this evening, Wednesday, that the UAE has informed Israel that it will not allow Israeli defense industries to participate in a security exhibition to be held in Dubai soon.

This is primarily an exhibition for aerial equipment, and it is considered one of the most important global exhibitions, typically featuring major Israeli and international companies.

According to the newspaper, as translated by SadaNews, this came 24 hours after the assassination attempt on senior Hamas leaders in the Qatari capital, Doha.

According to the newspaper, the Israeli Ministry of Defense received this notification this morning, and the same notification was conveyed to the managers of Israeli security companies that were set to participate in the exhibition to showcase their military and security products.

The notification indicated that this decision was based on security considerations, but Israeli officials estimate that the main reason is the attack against Hamas leadership in Qatar.

Today, UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed arrived in Qatar on a visit of solidarity and diplomatic support following the attack, and Jordanian Crown Prince Hussein is also expected to arrive in Doha later, while Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will arrive tomorrow.
