Israel's Paralympic shooting team will not take off next week for the World Championships in the United Arab Emirates, after security clearance was not received and security guards will not be provided.
As I recall, for a long time now due to sanctions by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, security has not been possible for delegations abroad to countries considered high risk, with most national teams having to hire private security guards or simply stay at home, as is now the case with the delegation that includes Yulia Chernoy, Eli Hebra and coach Guy Strick .
"This is the most important competition besides the Olympics," Charno told Israel Hayom.
"We have been preparing for this competition since the games in Tokyo. I am asking all the relevant parties to make every possible effort so that we can compete. Even if it means that high levels will have to intervene. I am sure that if a government minister were to come to visit the Emirates, they would take care of appropriate security."
Only last May, the Israeli fencing team could not go to the European Championships in Turkey for the same reason, when in the end, after the intervention of the deputy head of the sports director Hanan Danziger and the chairman of the sports lobby MK Simon Davidson, they managed to take care of security, and even returned with a medal The money in the team competition.
