Paralympics: No reason to sanction Israel

Andrew Parsons, the president of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), has said in a statement that Israel should not be suspended from the 2024 Games.

Parsons told Reuters that Russian and Belrussian Paralympic Commitees were suspended because "they used the Olympic movement to promote the war and the invasion of Ukraine".

He said that, in the case of Israel, "the Paralympic Committee and even the Palestine Paralympic Committee have not done anything of that nature, so we don’t have any process in place when it comes to suspending those national Paralympic committees".
