The Paris 2024 Olympics have so far lived up to all with the Israeli delegation winning no less than 6 historic medals.

It started with Peter Pelchik who won the bronze medal, continued with Inbar Lanir and Raz Hershko who won the silver in floor gymnastics; Artyom Dolgopiat stunned everyone and finished in second place.

The world champion Sharon Kantor was up to the task and she also finished with the silver medal and the cherry on the cake came from Israel's big sensation, Tom Reuveni, who for the first time made the Israeli national anthem (HaTikvah) heard on French soil and in front of the whole world.

The Arab countries have been busy in recent days mainly trying to understand how the small country from the Holy Land, which is at war in several arenas, manages to amaze the whole world and along the way cause a crushing failure for quite a few of its enemies.

The Saudi website 'Elaph' reads: "The gap between Israel's achievements in the Paris Olympics and those of the Arab world is shameful. Without delving into the conflict between the Arabs and Israel from a political and historical point of view, let me talk about the Israeli delegation, which until recently was considered weak in sports."
