Israel has been banned from participating as a competing nation in the 2025 International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) due to its role in the ongoing conflict in Gaza. However, four contestants from Israel may still participate under the IOI flag. In the 2024 competition, Israeli students participated remotely and won three gold medals and a bronze. The Education Ministry states that Israeli students competing under the IOI flag will not be allowed, and is considering decisive measures in response.
