A number of international athletes who rejected normalization with "Israel", withdrawing from their competitions, were honored in Beirut on February 1, and were given gold medals to reward them for their stances against the Israeli occupation.

Iran's women's national hockey team recently canceled its participation in the Ice Hockey World Women's Championship held in Serbia to avoid facing the Israeli occupation team, "Israel" Hayom news website reported.

The championship is set to take place on March 22 in the Serbian capital, Belgrade, where the Iranian team was supposed to face Estonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and "Israel".

Levav Weinberg, chairman of the "Israel" Hockey Association, called for putting politics aside; a pretext the Israelis frequently use in their attempt to whitewash the image of the "genocidal and illegitimate regime" in different areas.
