The organizing committee for the Paris 2024 Olympics rejected a request from the Iraqi delegation to "move" the Israeli flag away from the Iraqi flag, which are displayed next to each other at the football venues in France during the Olympics. During the football competitions, the organizing committee places the flags of all participating Olympic teams, totaling 16, at the top of the stadium. It immediately caught attention that the Iraqi flag was next to the Israeli flag across all football venues. This prompted the Iraqi delegation to request that the Israeli flag be removed, but this request was promptly denied by the organizing committee. It is worth noting that both Iraq and Israel are participating in the men's football competitions.
