Israel's judo delegation to Abu Dhabi may have been denied the right to compete under its flag, but it will return home on Sunday with five medals from the year's final Grand Slam event after Ori Sasson and Peter Paltchik claimed bronze medals in the final day of action on Saturday. Gili Cohen and Tohar Butbul also picked up bronze medals in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, with Tal Flicker taking a gold medal in the opening day of competition on Thursday. With Israel and the UAE not having diplomatic relations, the blue-and-white team was forced to compete under the flag of the International Judo Federation. The organizers claimed that due to security reasons the Israelis can't have their flag on their judo uniform and instead of having ISR (Israel) by their names on the scoreboard and on their backs, they will have to take part as representatives of the IJF. For the same reason, they explained that should an Israeli win a gold medal, the national anthem would not be played. The delegation of 12 athletes, also experienced a far from ideal preparation for the event, only arriving in Abu Dhabi via Amman, Jordan, on Tuesday, a day later than scheduled.

  • Nyt Fra Israel (34)
    Israels sydlige beboere: "Vi er syge og trætte af raketterne fra Gaza!" World Israel News 29. oktober 2018 "Nok er nok, vi er syge og trætte af det!" sagde Liana Peretz, en af arrangørerne af protesten fra folk, der bor tæt pa Gaza. Beboe- re her udtrykker deres frustration gennem flere ma neder over regeringens manglende evne til at forhindre missiler, ilddrager og bombeballoner fra Hamas. I mandags blokerede de vejen til Kerem Shalom-overgangen. Fredag aften og lørdag morgen affyrede den palæstinensiske jihad over 34 raketter ind i det sydlige Israel. Demonstranterne stoppede en konvoj af lastbiler pa vej ind i Gaza til trods for en beslutning fra Forsvarsministeriet om at a bne Kerem Shalom-krydset for at bringe forsyninger fra Israel til Gaza. Protesterne holdt plakater i vejret med tekster som Vi fortjener også ro! - Folket kræver at trække vejret! - Syden brænder! "Det er utroligt, at mine børn bliver nødt til at sta op midt om natten og løbe til beskyttelsesrum i angst for bombeballoner og ildbærende drager. Tiden er kommet til, at regeringen til at va gner op og gør noget!" siger Liana. "Vi kan ikke tolerere en situation, hvor beboere i vort land plages af uafbrudte terrorhandlinger!" siger Alon Schvartzer, politi- ske leder i den zionistiske Im Tirtzu. "Beslutningstagere skal give IDF mulighed for at vinde en afgørende sejr og genoprette roen mod syd. Dette er ikke kun en kamp for os i syd, men en kamp for alle Israels borgere."
