Minister of Culture and Sports Miri Regev received the Israeli Judo team tonight, who returned from the competition in Abu Dhabi, where it won five medals.
"We achieved a knockout against boycotters," wrote Regev on her Facebook page, where she posted a video in which she appeared with the team members singing the anthem. Israeli athletes were forced to compete without Israeli identification and the anthem was not played after Tal Flicker won a gold medal.
