Israeli Protesters Accuse Arms Expo of Testing Weapons in Gaza
The demonstration took place at the Defense Tech Expo 2026, a two-day international defense and security fair held for the first time at the Tel Aviv Exhibition Center. Around 20 participants carried signs reading “You are using Gaza as a testing lab” and called for an arms embargo, criticizing what they described as profiteering tied to Israel’s military operations in the Palestinian territory.
The protest was organized by an Israeli group that chose to remain anonymous for security reasons. In a statement, the group said it was opposing “the profits of the arms industry from occupation, apartheid and genocide in Gaza” and condemned both the exhibiting companies and foreign buyers attending the expo.
According to the exhibition’s official website, over 70 Israeli firms specializing in defense and homeland security are showcasing advanced technologies and solutions claimed to be “proven in the field.”
The event, organized by the Star Group, is expected to attract dozens of foreign delegations, senior officials, and technology investors, and is held under the auspices of Israel’s Foreign Ministry, the Economy Ministry’s Foreign Trade Administration, the Israeli Export Institute, and the Federation of Israeli Chambers of Commerce.
