Iran condemns the “reception and protection” of Israeli athletes at the Olympic Games in Paris, demanding their exclusion over Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.
Israel’s delegation, which headed to France yesterday ahead of Friday’s opening ceremony, is being tightly protected in the French capital amid threats over their participation.
“Announcing the reception and protection of the apartheid terrorist Zionist regime’s delegation means giving legitimacy to the child killers,” Iran’s foreign ministry says in a post on X.
“They do not deserve to be present at the Paris Olympics because of the war against the innocent people of Gaza,” it adds, calling on organizers to ban Israel.
Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza started after the terror group launched a shock onslaught, killing some 1,200 people and abducting 251 as hostages.
