Israel does not take part in the European games, it is in Asia and therefore not elligible to compete in Europe

Israel however has been a part of Europe for the purposes of some continental sporting championships. For example football where Israel have played in European qualifying groups in major champs.

Israel plays soccer in the European league because the Asian and African leagues choose not to compete with them because they believe Israel to be a stolen state.

It was decided by f.i.F.A that Israel could play in Europe mainly for security reason. Another reason could be the Arab countries will not play with them.Although geographically not in EUROPE,Israel is within the European Broadcasting Area and can thus participate European Song Contest and European Football Competitions

Israel play in both the champion league as well as world cup qualifying games, even though they are not in Europe. The reason is for safety reasons or in some cases the Arab countries will not play with them.

For political reasons and fallouts with the Asian countries, Israel is member of the UEFA rather than AFC and hence participates in European Competitions.
