Egypt did compete against Israel in the World Karate Championships (junior)

I was looking through the results of the World Karate Championships (Junior and Cadet) that I reported on yesterday saying that a Kuwaiti team refused to face Israel.On Saturday, Israeli competitors went up against Egyptians twice.

And Egypt won both times. A. Ismail beat Y. Tzur in the third round of their competition, and E. Abdelkader defeated the same Y. Tzur in the second round of their competition.

Egypt won the most medals in the competition; Israel did not win any. I could not find any mention in the Egyptian media about the rounds against the Israeli competition.

I could not find a single match between Israel and Kuwait listed in the four days of results. It is possible that Kuwait made up the story to begin with!
