UK Bars Israel From London Defense Expo Over New Gaza Offensive
- The UK government barred official Israeli defense officials from attending the DSEI 2025 exhibition in London, scheduled for September 9–12 at the Excel centre.
- This ban follows rising diplomatic tensions, including Britain and France recognizing a Palestinian state last month and UK criticism of Israel's military escalation in Gaza.
- The DSEI event typically features both national delegations and private companies showcasing military equipment, with Israeli defense firms allowed to participate independently but without government backing.
- A UK official described Israel’s intensified military actions as unjustified and called for urgent efforts to halt the conflict, secure the release of hostages, and enhance support for Gaza’s humanitarian needs, while Israel criticized the UK's decision to exclude it from the defense event as unfair and politically biased.
- The ban highlights Britain's growing pressure on Israel to change course in the Gaza conflict and signals potential shifts in diplomatic relations and defense cooperation.
