Who won't they host?

Strangely sounds like it's specifically Hindu majority Bali (where Israel were to be based for their pool), rather than Muslim majority as a whole Indonesia that was the issue.

I just read that the governor of Bali is a religious fundamenalist who has his own narrow view of what Balinese Hinduism should be and has even been taken to the Indonesian Human Rights Commission in recent years by Hindu groups on Bali like the Hare Krishnas for persecuting them and closing their centres.
A divisive and unpopular figure with many in Bali - the head of the Bali House of Reprentatives has spoken out this week opposing the ban on Israelis visiting Bali and most Indonesian social media activity seems opposed to the governor's actions. 
Football fans in indonesia are fuming that they have lost the u-20 World Cup due to his actions. The federal government won't be happy either, having spent millions on stadium upgrades.
