UAE: Participation of Israeli arms companies in defence exhibitions is clear support for the Israeli killing machine by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor https://countercurrents.org/2025/02/uae-participation-of-israeli-arms-companies-in-defence-exhibitions-is-clear-support-for-the-israeli-killing-machine/ The United Arab Emirates’ approval of Israeli arms companies’ participation in the Maritime Defence and Security Exhibition NAVDEX 2025 and the International Defence Exhibition IDEX represents direct support for the Israeli military industry and war machine. The Israeli companies’ products have been used to commit crimes against humanity and war crimes that have killed 10s of thousands of innocent people in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon in recent months. Hosting these companies and allowing their participation in such major exhibitions—both of which have been taking place in the capital of Abu Dhabi and end on 21 February—at the height of Israel’s violations of the laws of war cannot be viewed as a neutral business decision.
