The Palestinian athletes have just made their entry into the Olympic Games on a boat in the Seine.
"Out of the ashes, we always rise," said the Palestinian Mission to the United Nations in a post on X.
Around 350 Palestinian athletes have been killed by Israeli forces over the past 10 months, according to Palestine’s Olympic Committee.
The Palestinian body wrote to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) this week, calling for Israel to be banned from the Games over its war on Gaza.
Out of the ashes, we always rise.
