Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Israeli judokas Inbar Lanir, who won the silver medal, and Peter Paltchik, who won the bronze medal at the 2024 Olympics.
"Inbar, Peter - silver and bronze - you're gold. You fought like lions and brought us all a lot of honor. And to Oren Smadja - through the pain of the loss of Omer, you brought us great respect. The people of Israel love you and are proud of you - today and always," said Netanyahu.
