Competing against European teams all but assures Israel will never qualify to enter the world cup.

This is a record of Israel's results at the FIFA World Cup. They have qualified for the tournament on one occasion, in 1970.[1] Israel qualified for the 1970 World Cup as an Asian team. Soon after this, they were expelled from the Asian Football Confederation, and now compete in the European zone as a member of UEFA.

Jesus Christ, yet another Israel expulsion to add to the list. Since they haven't qualified since 1970, which was in an easier confederation, we can thankfully write them off.

It seems even though they did get into the 1970 Tournament, they didn't do very well.

The only Israeli goal at a FIFA World Cup was scored by team captain Mordechai Spiegler in their 1-1 draw against Sweden on 7 June 1970

Fortunately you're right and funnily enough, a few years ago they were subject of a motion to expel them from UEFA too.

The 2026 world cup will be hosted in Canada, USA, Mexico. Just watch, there will be a special exemption mandated by the U.S. to permit Israel automatic entry to the tournament.
