Paris Olympics 2024: Israeli athletes receive threats as tensions simmer over Gaza

The Hindu  

Israel’s Olympic team said some athletes have received threats as they compete in Paris amid larger tensions over Palestinian deaths during the war in Gaza and the threat of a wider regional conflict in the Middle East. Yael Arad, president of the Israeli National Olympic Committee, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that team members had received “centralized” threats meant to generate “psychological terror” in athletes, without giving further details. Prosecutors also launched an inquiry into inciting racial hated after Israeli athletes received ‘’discriminatory gestures” during an Israel-Paraguay match. “It’s not easy to be an Israeli athlete in the international arena these days,” said Arad, head of Israel’s Olympic committee.
