Israel overpowered previously undefeated Croatia on Sunday for a historic gold at the FIBA (International Basketball Federation) U20 European Championship 2018.

“To beat France and Croatia sounds like the World Cup,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted. “This is a marvelous achievement and we are all proud of you. I am waiting to meet you at my office in Jerusalem. Truly, congratulations!”
