Israel is scheduled to compete at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. This will be the nation's 18th appearance at the Summer Olympics, except for Moscow 1980 due to the United States-led boycott. The participation of Israel prompted calls from twenty-six French lawmakers,^[1]^[2] Palestinian, and other global sports organizations for sanctions against Israel and to prevent its participation due to the impact of the Israel–Hamas war on Palestinian athletes and sports facilities, but IOC President Thomas Bach confirmed this was never an issue for the IOC^[3] and cautioned athletes against boycotts and discrimination. The president of the Olympic Committee of Israel, Yael Arad, assured that Israeli athletes would "100 per cent" be present, with safety measures in place.^[4]

The judoka Peter Paltchik and swimmer Andrea Murez were chosen as the nation's flag bearers at the opening ceremony.^[5]
