The war in the Middle East between him Israel and her Hamas continues, which also affects sports.
Until recently, domestic action in the Israeli basketball league had been halted, but it is now continuing as normal. THE Maccabihowever, will have a significant disadvantage, as its foreign players have informed the management of the decision to stay in Belgrade and play only in Euroleague matches, until further notice!
The news was announced by the club, which then pointed out that the team will compete in the next two games of the championship only with athletes from Israel and of course without its “stars”.
In fact, according to the report of “sport5.co.il”, there is a strong background behind this decision of the players. Specifically, it has to do with their salary cuts due to the war situation. The players talked to him Shimon Mizrahi and they asked for assurances that the money they lost would be returned to them later, however they did not receive it, so they decided not to strengthen the team in the league!
As such, Maccabi Tel Aviv will line up for their next two league games against Hapoel Haifa and the Hapoel Ber Sheva, featuring only Israeli athletes, some of whom will be young players. Therefore, the league is expected to move against the team, according to the regulation that requires teams to be at their best for league games!
