Chile’s Jewish community and a group of senior retired military officers were among those voicing condemnation on Wednesday of the Chilean government’s decision to exclude Israeli companies from a major aerospace and defense fair in Santiago next month. The Latin American nation’s Ministry of Defense announced on Tuesday that Israeli exhibitors would be barred from the FIDAE 2024 show, which takes place from April 9-14, in a protest against the current war in Gaza. On Wednesday, Chilean Interior Minister Carolina Tohá defended the decision, saying that “human rights are our first priority.” The fair brings together defense officials and companies from more than 40 countries.
