In one of the "Frank Answers", Frank talked about districts and said they will always make sure international teams have where to go despite the districts. As for now, they can compete in NY, or Israel. (EDIT: to clarify, I mean those would be the closest events for them).

TBH I'm kinda hoping this will get more international teams to come to Israel. We usually have one American team (we had three different American teams come here, in separate years) and one from Bosnia. FIRST Israel hopes for 5 international teams (or hoped last time I heard about the subject), maybe soon the goal will be fulfilled.
