Adam Maraana, whose mother is a Jewish Israeli and father is Arab, described what it was like representing Israel at the Paris Olympics.
He felt one of his main roles was to “bring hope following the atrocities faced by our brothers and sisters on October 7th.”
Maraana, who is attending university in the United States, urges Israelis and their allies to remain “strong, united, proud, and respectful.”
