Why isn't israel in the world cup?

They won the world holy grail tournament

They never qualified. They finished third in their UEFA Group I matches behind Norway and Italy.

i think the usa goal keeper matt turner is the only jewish player in the tourney

Some late ballots should arrive soon

Yeah, I think they still actually have to qualify like everyone else 🤔

antiseptic?

If they don’t qualify in their region, they don’t go. Israel has a national team.

US Tarrif ?

God didn't invite them

They may be busy with wars and such

Interesting fact. Israel is located in Asia, which is a relatively easy Confederation from which to qualify. But the Arab countries have historically refused to play them. So despite not being in Europe Israel is part of UEFA, which is by far the toughest confederation to qualify from.
