Elbit Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries said they still plan to attend. Rafael did not respond to a request for comment on their plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, the country\u2019s International Defense Cooperation Directorate, SIBAT, which spearheads arms transfers on behalf of the Israeli Ministry of Defense, has called off its participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn light of the war that began on Oct. 7, SIBAT has decided not to inaugurate a national pavilion at global defense exhibitions until further notice,\u201d the media and public affairs bureau of the Israeli MoD told Defense News in an email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This situation is markedly different from 2021, which was the first year that Israel attended the Dubai Air Show following the normalization of ties with the United Arab Emirates, the first Gulf nation to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iai.co.il\/iai-to-exhibit-at-dubai-airshow\">statement<\/a> released by IAI\u2019s chief executive officer Boaz Levy said that \u201ca year after the signing of the Abraham Accords, we are thrilled to participate in the show and to broaden cooperation with business partners in the Gulf region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two years on, the regional geo-political landscape has turned gloomy. Following the terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas against Israel last month, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mofa.gov.qa\/en\/statements\/qatar-expresses-concern-over-the-developments-in-gaza-strip-and-calls-for-de-escalation\">Qatar<\/a> and Kuwait\u2019s foreign ministries issued statements declaring that they held Israel as the sole responsible party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UAE government <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mofa.gov.ae\/en\/mediahub\/news\/2023\/10\/8\/8-10-2023-uae-population\">described<\/a> the Oct. 7 attacks carried out against Israel as a \u201cserious and grave escalation,\u201d and top officials have warned of the threat of a regional spillover from the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs we continue working to stop this war we cannot ignore the wider context and necessity to turn down the regional temperature that is approaching a boiling point,\u201d Noura Al Kaabi, minister of state for foreign affairs, said at a policy conference in Abu Dhabi on Nov 3, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some experts view the growing instability that is grasping the region as likely to impact defense exports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the short run, many Arab countries will want to distance themselves and minimize their ties to Israel, particularly the Israeli military and defense industry, if only to limit the domestic political fallout of the war,\u201d Raphael Cohen, director of strategy and doctrine program at RAND Corp said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the longer term, Cohen says the consequences are more uncertain. Still, he believes many Arab nations\u2019 basic security interests have not changed. \u201cThey still view Iran as a mortal threat, so they still need weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buying arms from Russia or China risks blowback from the United States and other Western governments, he added, not to mention that Moscow probably has none to spare anyway as Russian forces continue to pursue the invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Awad Mustafa in Dubai contributed to this
