In April 2019, already before the recent signing of the UAE-Israel peace accords, Israel confirmed its participation at Expo 2020, the international mega-event that was to be held in the United Arab Emirates, ISRAEL21c reported at the time. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was cancelled.
World Expos are international fairs dating back to 1851 in which countries showcase innovations and discoveries. According to organizers, the Dubai Expo – the first to be held in the Middle East – was expected to attract some 25 million visitors between October 20, 2020 and April 10, 2021.
