The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) has reversed its previous decision and will allow the Israeli national hockey team to compete in Division 2A. Last season, Israel won Division 2B but was initially denied promotion because the Division 2A championship was canceled due to the war in Iran. The IIHF congress, currently taking place in Tenerife, reconsidered the matter. The upcoming Division 2A tournament will be held in the United Arab Emirates, with dates yet to be announced. Israel's opponents will include Croatia, Serbia, the UAE, Belgium, Australia, and Georgia.
