French authorities have designated roughly 1,000 elite anti-terrorist officers to provide a 'ring of steel' for Israel's Olympic delegation following threats against team members.
France will provide elite police officers to safeguard Israeli athletes throughout the Olympic Games due to security concerns as the opening ceremony gets underway Friday. 'There are those who seek to undermine the celebratory nature of this joyous event,' Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz wrote in a letter to his French counterpart.
Israel’s Shin Bet security agency will work with the French police to keep the area and Games safe for their athletes, but other criminal threats remain major concerns as the games get underway.
