JAKARTA: Indonesia has once again refused entry to Israeli athletes, this time denying visas to six gymnasts scheduled to compete in the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in the capital Jakarta later in October. The decision highlights Jakarta’s stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict, following a similar move in 2018 when it barred Israeli swimmers from taking part in a qualifying event for the 2018 Asian Games. The latest denial comes amidst rising tensions over Palestine, with Indonesia actively supporting Palestinian statehood at international forums. The Israeli Gymnastics Association condemned the decision, calling it a violation of the Olympic spirit of unity and peace.
