The European Championships are slated to take place in Tallinn, Estonia, from Jan. 12-16.
The decision is a blow to the team, whose members are preparing for the Winter Olympics in Beijing. The games will run from Feb. 4-20.
An official with the Israeli Ice Skating Federation told Israel Hayom that the decision was a "difficult compromise for the team," ahead of the Beijing Games.
