I would assume it is because they qualified under the governing rules. A better question is why isn't everyone competing? If Israel can, I assume all the mid-east is eligible. If they aren't, maybe it's because they don't want to.

The surrounding countries in the mid-east may not want them to take part in their group contests, or they do it for security purposes.

There would be too much trouble if they were allowed to play with their Arab neighbours.
