Well all things considered, moving it to a calmer location is a logical decision.

However, rejecting applications, that is rather disappointing.

By the way, I was readng in Linux Magazine that DebConf24 has moved from Israel to South Korea due to the ongoing conflict.

A quick scan on the Internet suggests the move is more political than practical. I think the Debian team at Israel has had their applications rejected 3 or 4 times already. If I was a team member from Israel I would start focusing on a different distribution.
