International sport federations will be told not to allow Indonesia to host events following the country's ban on Israeli athletes.

Indonesia said it would not grant visas to the Israel team for the ongoing World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Jakarta because of the country's military offensive in Gaza.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) could not find a resolution to the decision, which the Israeli Gymnastics Federation (IGF) said set a "dangerous precedent" - as it also criticised the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG).

In response, the IOC executive board met this week and have decided to "end any form of dialogue" with the National Olympic Committee of Indonesia "about hosting future editions of the Olympic Games, Youth Olympic Games, Olympic events or conferences".
