UK bans Israeli officials from flagship defence show

Israel says Britain’s decision to exclude it from military weapons showcase is a ‘regrettable act of discrimination’

The UK government has banned Israeli officials from attending the country’s flagship defence event next month.

Israeli industry, including UK subsidiaries of Israeli companies will be able to attend London’s Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEI) show in September but the UK government will not invite representatives of the Israeli government to the major industry event.
