Israel qualified for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Korea, and was represented by national champion Adam Edelman. The team qualified again for the 2026 Winter Olympics, but it was disqualified after the Israeli Olympic Committee withdrew the team. One athlete had claimed to be ill, a claim supported by a medical check and signed affidavit, to allow a substitute to complete in his place. It was later revealed that the athlete had falsely claimed to be sick. As substitutions are only permitted for legitimate illness or injury under Olympic rules, the Israeli Olympic Committee barred the team from competing further. == Organizational structure ==

The Federation President is David Greaves, and the Secretary General is Dov 'Dubi' Shlenger. ==See also==
