Olympics: IOC wants no sports events in Indonesia following ban on Israeli athletes

# Olympics: The International Olympic Committee has condemned Indonesia’s refusal to allow Israeli athletes to participate in the ongoing World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Jakarta. This is because of the country’s military offensive in Gaza. In response, the IOC says all international sports federations will be told not to host any events or meetings in Indonesia. The IOC has also decided to end any form of dialogue with the National Olympic Committee of Indonesia about hosting the 2030 Youth Olympics and the 2036 Olympic Games.
