Stéphane Séjourné, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, declared on Monday that the representative of Israel is welcome at the Paris Olympic Games, in response to the comments made by an MP La France insoumise who considered the problem of its participation in the middle of the war in Gaza. About 90 Israeli athletes are eligible to participate in fifteen training sessions. The Palestinian Olympic Committee announced on Monday that it had formally asked the IOC for the “immediate exclusion” of Israel.
