The 2025 European championships in artistic gymnastics will not be held in Tel Aviv, Israel as originally planned, organizers European Gymnastics said on Monday.
The organization's executive committee has decided to withdraw the tournament from country "due to the current situation in Israel," amid the war between the nation and Palestinian extremist organization Hamas, a statement said.
European Gymnastics said it's reopening the bidding process for the event and bids can be sent until April 23.
"We acknowledge the efforts done by the Israeli Gymnastics Federation, the excellent host of several European Championships in the past 8 years. The Executive Committee welcomes a bid for later editions," the body said.
