The world is gearing up for the 2024 Summer Olympics as the July 26 opening ceremony in Paris, France, approaches. Athletes from Israel, however, are facing increasingly violent threats and will receive additional security from armed Shin Bet agents. The increased security stems from very public anti-Israel protests in Paris as well as specific, violent online threats directed at the athletes. According to The Jerusalem Post: Walla reported that, over the weekend, Israeli athletes received online messages written in poor Hebrew. Many also received calls from foreign numbers. On Thursday and Friday, 15 athletes and their teams received identical death threats via email, warning them they would be killed if they arrived in France, Walla reported. The email also referenced the Munich 1972 Olympics, telling the athletes to “Prepare for the intifada!” During the “Munich Massacre,” eight Palestinian Liberation Organization terrorists breached the Olympic Village at the ’72 Summer Games and entered an apartment complex housing Israeli athletes. The terrorists murdered two members of the Israeli team in the Village before taking nine others hostage and demanding the release of 234 Arab prisoners from Israeli jails. After a 23-hour standoff, all of the hostages were killed. In the lead-up to the games, pro-Hamas protestors have flooded Paris, demanding Israel be banned from participating.

The Consul General of Israel in New York Ofir Akunis was reported to have been among the people who greeted Netanyahu after his plane had landed, according to the Times of Israel. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was also notably not present to greet Netanyahu upon his arrival in the U.S. Netanyahu’s arrival comes ahead of his speech before Congress on Wednesday. In June, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnel (R-KY), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) released a letter inviting Netanyahu to speak before a joint meeting of members of the United States House and Senate. Harris and the Senate President Pro-Tempore Patty Murray (D-WA) have reportedly refused to preside over Netanyahu’s speech to Congress. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) previously stated that he would “not attend” the speech given by Netanyahu, whom he described as a “war criminal.” Several sources told Axios in June that House Democrats had been discussing holding counter-programing to Netanyahu’s speech.

Q&A With Amir Tsarfati & Pastor Barry Stagner:
Benjamin Netanyahu Lands in U.S., Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Absent to Greet Him:
“It is outrageous to me and inexcusable that Kamala Harris is boycotting [Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech]. Kamala Harris will abandon her seat. She will not be there because she refuses to attend.
