This gambit is played by those trying to earn 72 virgins after a death by Jews contest. It works for all combats, sports,war, women....etc.

"Moamar al-Ariani, dismissed the automatic win awarded Israel as a "Jewish trick that aims to ruin the reputation of Yemen and Yemeni sport."

So, if Israel and Yemen switched places, would it still be a "Jewish trick"? Not playing is not playing, and there is nothing "Jewish" about that.
While I do think that they are correctly stating that they don't play because it's Israel, I think they know deep down that Israel's chess team is far superior than theirs. It would be 4-0 regardless of if they showed up.
