Spanish broadcaster allegedly skips Israeli hurdler during introductions at European Athletics Championships
Spanish public broadcaster RTVE has been accused of omitting an Israeli hurdler from athlete introductions during coverage of the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham, England. The allegation has prompted criticism from the anti-Semitism advocacy group StopAntisemitism, which said the broadcaster should face consequences if the omission was deliberate.
The report centres on RTVE’s coverage of the championships and claims that the Israeli competitor was skipped while other athletes were introduced. StopAntisemitism founder Liona Rez told Fox News Digital that she wanted the broadcaster involved to be dismissed, framing the incident as part of wider concerns about hostility towards Israeli athletes.
