Former France basketball player Emilie Gomis resigned as an ambassador for the Paris 2024 Olympics following a controversy linked to a social media post about the situation in Gaza.
Gomis published a message on her Instagram account showing maps of France gradually being replaced by the Israeli flag along with the question 'What would you do in this situation?'
Paris organizers stated that Gomis was given the opportunity to clarify her position but her social media post contravened her duty of neutrality as an ambassador.
