4. IISHF AGM 2023 – current situation in Israel.
There has been unrest in some parts of Israel in recent weeks. As a precaution, we have checked the current situation with the Foreign Office in some countries and especially with the hosting NMA (Eli Abramovich).
As a result, it was told to us that there are currently no dangerous circumstances and no travel warnings in Tel Aviv and in the immediate vicinity of Tel Aviv. We will continue to review the situation regularly, but we do not see any reason for any concern to come to the IISHF AGM 2023 in Tel Aviv taking place on 25-26 February 2023.
