The head of the Palestine Olympic Committee has criticised “double standards” from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) over its decision to allow Israel to compete in Paris 2024. Palestinian Olympic head Jibril Rajoub demanded a boycott in a letter to the IOC earlier this week which was rejected by the head of the international Olympics body, Thomas Bach. “This confirms that there are international institutions that insist on applying double standards and not adhering to the Olympic Charter, laws and regulations, or morals,” Rajoub said on Thursday as he arrived at Paris’s Charles de Gaulle airport with the Palestinian sporting delegation.
