The event, which is being dubbed ā€œthe peace raceā€ and is the initiative of Canadian-Israeli philanthropist and entrepreneur Sylvan Adams, is slated to take place in October 2024 and will be divided into three stages between the countries beginning in Israel.

The planned sports competition is the latest sign of growing regional ties in the wake of the 2020 Abraham Accords that saw Israel make peace with four Arab countries, led by the UAE and Bahrain.

ā€œThis will show how the sport of cycling, and sports in general, can be a force for good in bringing peoples and nations together, creating bridges, and having a more peaceful world through sport,ā€ Adams told JNS from the Tour de France competition currently underway.
He noted that the countries had come to an agreement on the three-staged event, and it has won the approval of the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the governing body of cycling.


Adams said that a season-ending UCI Gala for the entire sport will be held on a rotating basis between the three countries, adding that he expects the innovative format of the international competition will attract global attention.

Seeking to boost Israelā€™s image in the world, Adams is known for having brought Lionel Messi and the Argentine national soccer team for an exhibition game, Madonna to the Eurovision Song Contest finals, and the French Super Cup, all in Tel Aviv. He was also responsible for organizing Israelā€™s hosting of the first three stages of the largest sporting event to ever touch down on Israelā€™s shores, the 2018 Giro dā€™Italia Grand Tour road cycling race.

 
WASHINGTON ā€“ King Muhammad VI of Morocco has invited Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to meet with him in Rabat.

The invitation in a personal letter came on Wednesday, two days after Israel recognized Moroccan sovereignty in Western Sahara and said it may open a consulate in the city of Dakhla.

ā€œThe visit will open new opportunities to strengthen the relations between our countries,ā€ the king wrote.

Netanyahuā€™s office said he would like the visit to take place ā€œsoon.ā€

 
How do you like that? I had no idea the Arabs in Arab countries love & support the Palestinians. Amazing what we can learn from the fine brain of Sunni Man. Lol!

They do.. remember how the Israelis said a land without people for a people without land? Or, how about when Palestinians love their children as much as they hate Jews? Now their mantra is that the Arabs don't like Palestinians.
