Former French basketball player removed from “Olympic Ambassador” position for supporting Gaza.
Émilie Gomis, former French basketball player, has been removed from her Olympic ambassador role for publicly supporting Palestine and condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza. In a powerful statement, Gomis declared her unwavering support for Palestinian rights and questioned the Olympic Committee’s silence on Israeli athletes.
“I will continue to support Palestine. This is a human issue; the recognition of a nation must prevail. We are witnessing Russia’s exclusion from the 2024 Olympics, but the Olympic Committee takes no action against Israeli athletes. A state that commits genocide cannot participate in the Olympic Games.”she said.
