The rest of the Russian republics qualify through Europe.

And I believe the reason Israel qualifies through Europe is that none of the Middle Eastern countries will allow the Israeli team to play in thier countries. That's not quite the same as blackballing.

I think it's more that the Israeli team's safety cannot be guaranteed - or anything close to it - if they were to play in many of those countries.
