I have just tried to find an Israeli residential phone number via international directory inquiries.
I was in the middle of spelling the town name when the (very nice) operator stopped me. "I'm sorry," she said, "but I can't look it up. It's all in Hebrew. Business numbers are in English, residential numbers are in Hebrew." And, she added, trying to be helpful, "Hebrew is a very difficult language."
Is this a new development? And if so, at whose instigation?
I'd like to be told.
