Ynetnews reports: The Rio 2016 Olympic Games began on a sour note for the Israeli delegation, but not one relating to the actual competition.

“The 2016 Olympics – a disgrace!!” wrote Gal in a Facebook post. “(When) Israel’s Olympic delegation got ready to board the bus for the opening ceremony, it turned out the bus was shared with the Lebanese delegation.
