FIBA Women’s EuroBasket 2025 Qualifier: Israel 87 Ireland 57
Ireland women’s basketball team suffered a 30-point defeat to Israel in a game that was clouded by an “inflammatory” anti-semitism claim, their opponent’s support for the IDF and Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.
James Weldon’s charges refused to shake hands before this controversial EuroBasket qualifier in protest at Israel player Dor Sa’ar labelling the Irish “anti-semitic” in an interview on her federation’s website.
