countries using their influence to make statements about their views of other country's actions (like the UAE move and this one in Egypt), but then they should recognize that other organizations will respond in kind.
If the UAE doesn't want Israelis in their country for any reason, then so be it. But they should not be surprised, then, when the WTA or other bodies threaten to pull their events and choose to host them elsewhere because they expect international participation or because they have invited people from certain countries to attend.

Ditto for Egypt on this count. Go ahead and ban the Israelis. But take the hit when your sponsoring group backs out at the last minute, or when no other groups choose to host events in your country because you will not guarantee that all invited guests can attend.

And Ines_pt: I get your point, but it's sad to think that way...do you think an Egyptian would rather their mother/daughter die of breast cancer than have an Israeli doctor perform surgery on her?
