The Israeli Olympic team feels secure with the extensive security measures in place for the Paris Olympics, as affirmed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). French authorities are collaborating with 180 international intelligence services to ensure the safety of the athletes, who will receive 24/7 protection, including additional security personnel from Israel. Amid heightened geopolitical tensions and calls from the Palestinian Olympic Committee for Israel's exclusion from the Games, IOC President Thomas Bach emphasized the neutrality of the Olympics, stating that athletes should not be politicized. Meanwhile, an elite French anti-terrorist unit will patrol the venue for Israel's opening football match against Mali, which has intensified security concerns due to threats against Israeli athletes. Calls for protests against the Israeli delegation have escalated, with some politicians advocating for their ban from the Games. The situation reflects the ongoing tensions surrounding the Israel-Hamas conflict and their impact on the Olympic spirit.
