The letter sent by Maccabi Tel Aviv leaders on Sunday evening to explain why the team abstained from voting on the league's return ("If the Euroleague returns - we can't play in the league") succeeded in balancing Hapoel Jerusalem CEO Guy Harel, who was One of the top groomsmen in the Premier League's return to activity. Excluding the Premier League freeze.

Harel tweeted sharply on Twitter: "The Scorpio will remain a Scorpio. The first time a team suggested they had a problem with another league was today, 48 hours after it was decided to return the league. There was a very long session on Friday. In my opinion, everyone present expressed their stance and difficulties How many difficulties there are).

"Everyone also spoke at length and even more than once. The excuse that might be a clash with another league has not been raised. Today, it was remembered that it could be a threat to close the league here, so they pulled it out.

"And for the sake of my comment - probably if we knew the Champions were going to play in July we would probably raise it, try to find alternatives and the demon knows. If there wasn't a solution we couldn't point to a renewal of the league while we know we have other commitments at the time But most of all - I assure you that we would scream it in real time and make real-time decisions, in contrast to other clubs who made excuses for not respecting those who said them and after all these were cut out pulled out the good old card.

"We probably would not expect the whole league to wait with its decision until there is a league discussion we are participating in to make decisions that affect all of Israeli basketball. It's nice that the club that threatens not to appear in the Israeli league in favor of a European enterprise is asking for the state support."
