The International Judo Federation said that the fact that the fight even took place between those two athletes was a major sign of progress.
"This is already a big improvement that Arabic countries accept to (fight) Israel," spokesman Nicolas Messner said in an email.
He said there was no obligation to shake hands, but that bowing is mandatory.
Messner said that even though El Shehaby ultimately bowed, "his attitude will be reviewed after the games to see if any further action should be taken."
