Athletistic / Others. The head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Thomas Bach, said the organization is not considering the issue of banning Israeli athletes from participating in the Olympic Games. According to Bach, the conflict in the Gaza Strip will not affect athletes. He also assured that the security of Israelis will be ensured during the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris (France).

“There is no question of a ban on participation. Since the horrific attack on Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics, special measures have always been applied to Israeli athletes.
