IOC regrets Indonesian decision to block entry for Israeli gymnasts
The International Olympic Committee has criticised the decision to ban Israeli athletes from competing at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, despite intense efforts by the body to find a solution.
Indonesia said last week it had denied visas to Israeli gymnasts amid an outcry over Israel’s military offensive in Gaza, costing Israeli athletes a spot in the world championships that start on Sunday in the world’s largest Muslim-majority country, which has no formal diplomatic ties with Israel.
“Since the IOC became aware of the situation … it has, on all levels, been in touch with the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG), the IOC Member in the country, the National Olympic Committee and the government of Indonesia to help facilitate a solution. Unfortunately, no resolution has been found,” the IOC said in a statement.
“The IOC very much regrets the situation, especially after the remarkable step towards a peace agreement at the Peace Summit in Egypt, as witnessed by the President of Indonesia.”
Ahh the IOC which is fine with letting one genocidal country participate in the Olympics while barring another.
More Zionist propaganda. Ceasefire is not peace, Trump's peace plan is nothing but a business plan for occupation / colonization of Gaza.
Trump thought ‘Israelis were getting a little bit out of control’ after Qatar attack: Witkoff
US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff has said in a newly released interview with 60 Minutes that he had no idea about Israel’s plan to attack Hamas in Qatar.
“We woke up the next morning to find out that there had been this attack. And of course, I was called by President [Trump],” Witkoff said in the interview with the broadcaster last night.
“I think both Jared and I felt, I just feel, we felt a little bit betrayed,” he added, referring to Jared Kushner, billionaire real estate scion and son-in-law to the US president.
Kushner said that Trump felt the “Israelis were getting a little bit out of control in what they were doing” following the attack.
“The Qataris were critical to the negotiation, as were the Egyptians and the Turks, and we had lost the confidence of the Qataris. And so Hamas went underground, and it was very, very difficult to get to them,” Witkoff added.
Just a little bit... Don't attack my 'donors'.
