The event, held at the Olympic House in Tel Aviv, was designed to raise awareness of mental health challenges, break down stigma, and provide a meaningful and empowering experience.

Nimri, a former member of Israel’s national youth swimming team, was killed while defending the Nahal Oz outpost during Hamas’s surprise attack.

The agreement was signed by Yael Arad, Chair of the Olympic Committee of Israel, and Mihai Covaliu, President of the Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee.

"Thanks to this, no terrorist acts were committed on French soil during the Olympic period, and I can confirm that three attacks were foiled as well," he added.

The Committee warned the video may incite further threats against Israel’s Olympic delegation, who have already been victim to Iran’s cyberbullying.

Maybe it’s serendipity, or maybe it’s a much-needed act of mercy, but the fact that the Summer Olympics have been taking place during this time of anxiety and uncertainty has been a “godsend.”
