There is positive momentum towards bringing EuroLeague and EuroCup games back to Israel, following significant discussions held in the country over the past 24 hours. The head of the EuroLeague, Tsous Bueno, was present for these meetings. Gennadius Khinass, the professional manager for Hapoel Tel Aviv, expressed optimism about the situation during halftime of a game between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Hapoel Be'er Sheva/Dimona. "We had an excellent meeting with the EuroLeague leadership. We explained that it is safe to be in Tel Aviv and in Israel. No one can logically explain why the games are not here. The discussion will continue in the EuroLeague," Khinass stated. He added, "I was optimistic before, and now I am even more so, we are all heading in a positive direction." When asked about Hapoel Tel Aviv's pursuit of a EuroLeague franchise contract, Khinass deferred, saying, "That is not my role, the owner needs to speak about that. A franchise has two stages, one in the coming year and then there will be another stage. It is all related to the EuroLeague's expansion; eventually, many teams will receive one."
