UK bans Israeli officials from DSEI conference due to Gaza conflict, aiming to pressure Israel.

The UK has banned Israeli government and military officials from attending the DSEI defense conference in September, citing Israel's actions in Gaza. Israel's Ministry of Defense will not participate in the event but will support Israeli defense firms that choose to attend. The move is part of the UK's efforts to pressure Israel over the Gaza conflict, alongside suspending arms export licenses and sanctioning Israeli ministers.
