Israel's U20 Women's Basketball Team Advances to European Championship Final

Israel's under-20 women's basketball team made history by reaching the European Championship final for the first time. After a dramatic comeback victory against Poland in the quarterfinals on Friday, the team secured a 78-69 win over Belgium on Saturday evening. Unlike the previous match, Israel took an early and commanding lead, fueled by seven three-pointers in the first half, building a 21-point advantage. Despite Belgium's attempts to rally, Israel maintained control and closed out the game decisively. The team, which only lost once in the group stage to Spain, may face Spain again in the final scheduled for Sunday. Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar congratulated the team on their historic achievement, praising their advancement to the championship final.
