Amid calls for an Olympic ban, Israeli athletes are determined to succeed in Paris
- Copy Link URL Copied!
Israel is sending 88 athletes to Paris this month, the second-largest Olympic team in the country’s history. And they’re going to France against the backdrop of a bloody war at home that is entering its 10th month with no end in sight.
Yet that’s a topic few Israeli athletes seem willing — or able — to talk about.
“I don’t want to answer. I don’t want to go inside this thing,” Misha Zilberman, a four-time Olympian in badminton, said when asked about the war in Gaza.
A communications officer for a first-division Israeli soccer team, which placed numerous players on the Olympic team, was more blunt.
“We will not approve any questions regarding political/security situation/current affairs,” he warned. “I don’t think it’s fair on them to face such questions.”

Poop protests and political turmoil: Paris facing many messes as Olympics nears
Bed bugs & hijabs … budget & ticket prices … alleged embezzlement of public funds and hackers. A look at all the issues Paris has had to deal with in the run up to the Games.

But the large and sustained global protests against Israel’s actions in the Palestinian territories can’t be ignored and the questions, fair or not, remain unavoidable, even if they go unanswered.
In response to the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks that killed 1,200 people and saw about 250 taken hostage, Israel attacked Gaza seeking, it said, to destroy Hamas by razing cities and killing more than 37,000 people, according to the Gazan Health Ministry, leaving much of the Gaza Strip uninhabitable.
And while Israeli athletes have had little, if anything, to do with the conflict, they have become a target of the international outrage over the war. In the last four months alone, large crowds of pro-Palestinian activists protested the presence of an Israeli team at a softball tournament in Canada, a women’s soccer team in Scotland, a men’s U-19 soccer team in Norway and an Australian cyclist pedaling for an Israel team outside Melbourne.
Even Israeli singer Eden Golan was targeted, with thousands of people turning out in Malmo, Sweden, two months ago to protest her participation in the Eurovision Song Contest.
Now the focus shifts to France ahead of next week’s opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics, which are being held in the country with the largest Muslim population in Europe. More than two dozen French politicians asked the International Olympic Committee to ban Israeli athletes from competing under their flag and anthem while the Palestinian Olympic committee, which will have at least six athletes in Paris, and many Arab countries have called for Israel to be prohibited from competing at all.
Palestinian sports have suffered significant damage as a result of the war with Jibril Rajoub, president of the Palestinian Olympic committee, saying last month that more than 300 athletes, referees, administrators and support staff have been killed and all sports facilities in Gaza destroyed in the attacks. One of those who died was Majed Abu Maraheel, a retired distance runner who became the first Palestinian to compete in the Olympics when he ran the 10,000 meters in Atlanta in 1996.
Maraheel, 61, reportedly died of kidney failure in the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza.

But while a ban on Israeli athletes competing in France won’t happen, protests against the country’s participation in the Games are likely to continue, and that worries Israeli officials.
“The best way to deal with such things is to win, to succeed,” Miki Zohar, Israeli’s minister for culture and sports, said at a news conference in Tel Aviv last month. Zohar also urged his colleagues — and Israel’s Olympic athletes — to avoid discussing the provocations.
However, the danger that the protests present to the Israeli delegation can’t be dismissed. Therefore, the Israeli government has doubled the security budget for the Olympic team and working with Shin Bet, the country’s security agency, and French officials to keep Israelis safe.
“Every place where there are athletes, every single person representing Israel will have security,” Eytan Ben David, a former senior official with Shin Bet, told Jewish Insider, a Brooklyn-based weekly newspaper and website.
The Israeli team was the target of the deadliest terror attack in Olympic history in 1972, when eight Palestinian militants infiltrated the Olympic Village in Munich, resulting in the deaths of six coaches and five athletes. But Israeli Olympian Liel Abada, who plays in the MLS with Charlotte FC, said he’s more concerned about family members coming to Paris to watch the Games than he is about his own safety.
“I’m not scared,” Abada said. “We will get big security and we will be safe.”
Despite the security concerns, this Israeli Olympic team has a chance to be the best in its country’s history, with Olympic Committee president Yael Arad, a former jukoda and Israel’s first Olympic medalist in 1992, predicting the country will win four or five medals in France. Three years ago Israel sent 90 athletes to Tokyo and came back with a record four medals, including two golds in gymnastics.
“We want our athletes to come and work, to compete,” said Arad, speaking at the same Tel Aviv news conference at which Zohar appeared. “To go and represent Israel and to show the best face of Israel.”
One of those gold medalists in Tokyo, Ukrainian-born gymnast Artem Dolgopyat, a world, European and Olympic champion in the floor exercise, is returning to defend his title. Linoy Ashram, an 18-year-old rhythmic gymnast, is also considered a medal contender.
In judo Inbar Lanir, the reigning world champion in the U-78 kg weight class, is among the favorites while taekwondo’s Avishag Semberg, who became the youngest Israeli to win an Olympic medal when she struck bronze in Tokyo at age 19, will be back on the mat in Paris.
L.A. Olympic organizers about to face their toughest task: Delivering on promises
The Los Angeles 2028 Olympic organizing committee is entering the final and toughest stage of its long life — turning the Games into a reality.
July 8, 2024
Zilberman, the badminton player and the sixth Israeli to compete in four Summer Games, believes the global spotlight now shining on Israel will be a source of motivation for many of the country’s Olympians.
“Of course what’s happened, gives extra to go on court and to play our best. I’m really proud to represent Israel and I think [with] all the situation, I’m more proud,” said Zilberman, who was born in Moscow but moved to Israel with his parents — his father, Michael, competed for the Soviet gymnastics team and his mother, Svetlana, for the national badminton team — when he was 2.
“I know that everybody looks now [at] Israeli athletes. It’s not only me. It’s everybody now. They try to push themselves to show the best they can do.”
Soccer player Ido Shahar, a midfielder with Maccabi Tel Aviv of the Israeli Premier League, agreed.
“We are grateful in these moments to represent our country with all the flags and everything,” he said. “We don’t go every four years, you know? It’s a very special moment for our national team, for our country.”
Shahar and the rest of the soccer team will make history of a sort just by showing up. Israel last qualified for the Olympic soccer tournament in 1976, before it became a U-23 competition, and hasn’t won a game since reaching the quarterfinals in 1968.
But Osher Davida, Shahar’s club teammate at Maccabi Tel Aviv, wants more than a participation trophy. He wants a medal.
“We’re not coming to the Olympic Games to say, ‘OK, we are in the Olympics now’,” he said. “We’re coming to make history and win all the games. Our target is go higher and higher.”
Israel will face Mali, a majority Muslim nation, in its opener July 24 and could meet Egypt, Iraq or Morocco if it advances to the knockout stages.
“We know there is pressure. We want to succeed and show how good we are. And we have to deal with it,” said defender Stav Lemkin, who plays club soccer for Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine. “Israel’s the underdog in football.
“Of course our main goal is to win against Mali.”
However given the circumstances Zohar, the culture and sports minister, says Israel’s Olympians have won simply by competing in France.
“Every time we succeed in hearing the Israeli anthem play while our flag flies overhead is, in my eyes, worth everything,” he said. “The reason we’re doing this, despite the economic difficulties, despite the enormous costs of the war is because it has a value that in my eyes is directly related to national morale, which is in need of a boost.”

Netherlands commemorates 10th anniversary of downing of MH17 airline
The Netherlands commemorated on Wednesday the 298 victims of flight MH17 that was shot down over Ukraine 10 years ago with a ceremony attended by the bereaved and representatives from Malaysia, Australia, Britain, Belgium and Ukraine.
Ukraine and Russia trade deadly shelling as Moscow’s troops struggle to forge border ‘buffer zone’
Russian security service claims to foil ukrainian bomb attacks on senior officers and aircraft carrier.
Kyiv and Moscow blamed each other’s forces for deadly shelling as the Kremlin said its troops were still trying to create a “buffer zone” in the Kharkiv region of eastern Ukraine to prevent strikes on the neighbouring Russian province of Belgorod.
Two people were killed and one injured in a Russian air strike on the Black Sea region of Odesa that also damaged port infrastructure and a civilian ship, Ukrainian officials said, adding that air defence units had shot down 14 of 20 explosive-laden drones and three of five missiles launched in the early hours of Wednesday. An energy facility in the western Rivne region was also damaged.
One person was killed and nine injured by Ukrainian shelling of the town of Shebekino in Belgorod region, according to provincial governor Vyacheslav Gladkov. “As of now in the town it has been established that three apartment buildings, two social facilities, five commercial facilities and an industrial enterprise were damaged. Twenty cars were also damaged,” he wrote on social media.
Russian troops launched a new ground assault in May into Kharkiv region, across the border from Belgorod, attacking the town of Volchansk and seizing several deserted or sparsely populated villages near the frontier.

Ukraine and military analysts said Russia sought to exploit long delays in provision of US military aid to Kyiv at the time and to stretch its forces thin by extending the front line, but Russian president Vladimir Putin said he wanted to create a buffer zone to shield Belgorod region from shelling and cross-border raids.
Two months on Russia has not made significant gains in Kharkiv region and has suffered heavy losses in the area, according to Kyiv and western intelligence services.
When asked on Wednesday about the attempt to create a buffer zone, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: “Everything that is happening now in this area is dedicated to this task. Of course, the realisation of this task takes time…Work is being done on this.”
The heaviest fighting continues in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, where Russian troops are in the outskirts of Chasiv Yar, a strategic town on relatively high ground about 10km west of Bakhmut, a small city that Russia took in May 2023 after months of fighting that left it in ruins.
Moscow military claimed on Tuesday to have taken the Donetsk-region village of Yasnoborodivka, about 40km east of the Kyiv-controlled city of Pokrovsk and 15km west of Avdiivka, another devastated small city that Russia occupied in February.
Russia’s FSB security service said it had foiled Ukrainian plots to recruit Russians to send parcel bombs to three high-ranking Russian military officers and to cause an explosion on the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier in the northern port of Murmansk. Kyiv did not immediately comment on the claims.
