Three Israelis had been expected to take part in NorfolkMP: organisers ‘cowards’ reacting to ‘pro-Palestine mob’
Israeli players have been banned from next month’s World Indoor Bowls Championships in Norfolk after a campaign by pro-Palestinian groups. The decision was widely condemned by Jewish groups and the local MP, Rupert Lowe, who called it a victory for “the mob”.
Three Israelis were expected to compete in the tournament in Hopton-on-Sea – with Daniel Alomin due to play in the singles and Amnon Amar and Itai Rigbi in the pairs – but their invitations have since been withdrawn.
