The International Olympic Committee has voiced strong concern over Indonesia's decision to deny entry visas to Israeli gymnasts for the upcoming World Championships. The Israeli Gymnastics Federation appealed the ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but the appeal was rejected, confirming that Israeli athletes will not compete in the event. The International Olympic Committee emphasized that all eligible athletes must be allowed to participate in international competitions without discrimination and stated it would address the issue at its next Executive Board meeting. Indonesia has a longstanding policy of refusing to host Israeli delegations, citing support for Palestinians, and has previously withdrawn from hosting major sporting events over similar controversies.
