The European Fencing Championship featured a controversial protest against Team Israel in Tallinn, Estonia, Saturday night.

Members of Switzerland's silver medal-winning under-23 fencing team turned their backs to the Israeli gold medalists during the medal ceremony while Israel's national anthem played.

Israeli defeated Switzerland 45–34 to win gold.

After the incident, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar condemned Switzerland for the protest.

He posted on X: Congratulations Israel fencing team up to 23 year old for winning the gold medal in Europe championship. Respect! 🇮🇱Congratulations to the Italian team for winning the bronze.

Shame on the Swiss team for their disrespectful behaviour. you don’t know how to lose and behaved in a manner which is an embarrassment to you and the country you’re supposed to represent.

Switzerland didn’t allow Jews into their country during WW 2. Their antisemitism goes back into History.
