The reason the res is so low is due to US law that forbad providign high res satellite imagery of Israel. The law was just recently cancelled.
So expect in the coming year Google and Bing to update their Israel data.

The wonderful thing about the internet is that 99% of it can work wonderfully and one particular site might fail dramatically because packets in one direction go through a bad route. 
Same sort of reason some people complain of download speeds for MSFS updates of less than 1 megabit/s for a multi-gigabyte update, while others get 500 megabits/s or whatever their full pipeline is.
Alas, from here in Oregon I donāt seem to have a good route to this particular site, at least this week. 
Anyway thanks for the confirmation that it should work! Iāll check again in a couple weeks and see if network providers have resolved whatever is wrong.

Thatās fascinating! Thanks for sharing, I didnāt know the data resolution had been artificially limited by law. Looking forward to that getting fixed; itāll ātrickle downā via Bing Maps eventually.
Flew out of Eilat last night for some training. It was great! Very realistic
Highly recommend this area for people to explore as from altitude above airport you can see 4 countries: KSA, HKJ, Egypt and Israel, of course

Hello friends
I wanted to know why Israel International Airport has not yet been addressed by Microsoft. Is there a trend to attach it, and if so, what is the departure date

Just thought would comment and say Iād love to see this too. As others say there is obviously a better chance if includes other nearby nations however I do find it disappointing how you can recognise churches and other Christian landmarks in some countries yet thereās next to no inclusion of the many Islamic and Judaic landmarks (ignoring how they launched a big update on a Jewish Holiday so clearly have 0 interest) that I am sure many of us have tired to find and been disappointed by. Just is a shame when Israle is one of the most beautiful and historical nations that has ties to most walks of life in one way or another.

He is working on it for two years now.
Is anyone in touch with him to know of any progress, or possible completion date.
He hasnāt issued an update in over a year.

Purchased Rosenfield Ben Gurion
Not bad but has too many bugs. What about all of Israel? Need some updates
That would be sweet 
I love flying in the area of The Persian Gulf! Dubai and Abu Dhabi are my favorite spots.
