Earlier on Tuesday, Israeli players were announced to have been barred from the World Indoor Bowls Championships in England next month.
Now, in a letter shared by UK Lawyers for Israel on X, it appears the ban has been rescinded.

The World Bowls Tour originally said in a statement that the involvement of Israeli bowlers at the Scottish International Open in August had produced "a significant escalation in related political concerns".
Now, those concerns appear to have been addressed by an increase in security for the event, organisers said.
