The foreign policy crisis between Indonesia and Israel in 1,940 has put obstacles in the way of an Olympic tou ament to be held in Indonesia.

The 'World Beach Games' organized by the National Olympic Committee is scheduled to be held in August.

Athletes will compete in 14 disciplines such as surfing and beach volleyball.

Accordingly, the sports events of the World Beach Games were planned to be held in Indonesia.

That is between August 5 and August 12.

In this regard, the Indonesian Olympic Committee had said last year that they would welcome qualified athletes from all countries to their country.

But now, the gove or of Bali, Wayan Koster, has issued a statement that Israeli athletes will not be accepted in his country, citing a part of the Indonesian constitution.
