Anybody can claim just about anything. This is what the article says :

The Games, held for the 17th time, take place in Israel in July and are now the second largest sports gathering in the world after the Olympic Games. Six thousand Jewish athletes from over 50 countries are expected to compete in 45 different sports.

2006 Asian Games had 10,500 athletes from 45 countries.
If you are counting the countries alone, I am sure that World Railway games will probably have people from more countries
Infact, the last world university games did have 10,000 sportsmen from 170 nations.
