I had thought about this some time ago. I wonder if its possible for FIRST HQ to go to the Israeli Government, and request special permission to use the 5GHz Military band (802.11n) for the purposes of the FIRST program, due to the immense benefits it provides to the involved students.

Its not the 802.11n is explicitly outlawed in Israel, merely that the 5GHz band it resides in is reserved for Military use. Whether or not its actually in active use remains open for discussion (I know theres lots of frequency bands reserved like that that sit unused) and I doubt that our 802.11n radios would have any appreciable level of interference with whatever Military equipment they might be running on that band.
