The presence of Palestinian athletes at the Paris Olympic Games marks a significant victory for the team amid ongoing Middle East conflict, as announced less than a week before the events commence.

The Palestinian delegation consists of six athletes competing in boxing, judo, taekwondo, shooting, and swimming. Despite slim prospects for winning medals, the team's mere presence is seen as a triumph.

Swimmer Yazan Al Bawwab, who will serve as the flag bearer, emphasized the symbolic victory of their participation despite opposition. In light of the conflict's toll, where Palestinian and Israeli lives have been lost, the athletes have found training support from Kuwait, Qatar, Libya, and Egypt.
