Israel, like my own country, has laws in place which forbid the sale of any RF-capable devices until they have been expensively and painstakingly approved by some central regulatory authority. This sort of thing is common in state-heavy countries. The Israelis are just more competent about enforcing their laws and regulations.
In general regulating broadcast RF is a good thing, because it only takes one badly behaving device to spoil the air space for everyone.
