# The British government has barred Israeli officials from attending a major arms fair in London next month. A government spokesperson told CNN the Israeli Government’s decision to further escalate its military operation in Gaza is wrong and as a result no Israeli delegation will be invited to attend the fair. Israel has previously commanded a large presence at the Defence and Security Equipment International exhibition. Israel’s defence ministry said the restrictions amount to a deliberate and regrettable act of discrimination against Israel’s representatives.
