This could be very interesting indeed. I have no idea what FIRST is thinking. Aren't the new regionals announced in the summer? This is not only a new regional but a new regional in the Middle East. If anything warrants an announcement from FIRST, it seems like this would...but this is the first that I've heard of it.
Here's hoping that this pans out successfully...

Not including shipping the robot, going to Israel is probably about twice as expensive as going cross country. Airfare to Israel can be found for under $500, expecially booked this far in advance (compare to around $225 for a cross-country flight), and hotels there can be quite cheap (I stayed in a very nice Jerusalem hotel that was walking distance from the Old City for the equivalent of $20 a night, and that included free breakfast and a rental car!).
