Artistic Gymnastics Championships 2025 will be moved from Tel Aviv

The 2025 European Artistic Gymnastics Championships, which were to be held in Tel Aviv, will be moved from Israel. This decision accepted European Gymnastics Union (EGU).

The reason for the postponement was given as “the current situation in Israel.” Until April 23, the ECU is accepting applications to host the championship from other countries.

“We highly appreciate the efforts of the Israel Gymnastics Federation, which has excellently organized several European Championships over the past 8 years,” the EGC said in a statement. The union will also welcome Israeli applications to host the next championships.

• Israel conducts a military operation in the Gaza Strip in response to an attack by the Hamas group, designated terrorist by the US and EU, on October 7, 2023. Then more than 1,200 people died in Israel, and more than two hundred were captured. Some remain hostage to this day.
• According to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Ministry of Health, as a result of Israeli shelling died more than 30 thousand Palestinians – mostly women and children. There is no independent confirmation of these data.
• On Monday, March 25, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of all hostages held by Hamas.
