Update: Here is the FIG’s official statement

The FIG takes note of the Indonesian government's decision not to issue visas to the Israeli delegation registered for the 53rd FIG Artistic Gymnastics, which will be held in Jakarta from 19-25 October, and recognises the challenges that the host country has faced in organising this event.

The FIG hopes that an environment will be created as soon as possible where athletes around the world can enjoy sports safely and with peace of mind.
