Errrrr Vlad, here is what Microsoft’s Chat AI tells me:

In Israel, about 85% of the population speaks English to some degree, largely due to its role in education, business, and international communication. English is taught in schools from an early age and is widely used in signage, media, and government.

As for Russian, approximately 15–20% of Israelis speak it, primarily due to the large wave of immigration from the former Soviet Union in the 1990s.

So do Israel telephones say "Press 1 for Hebrew. Press 2 for Russian?"

If its equivalent to Spanish in the USA, that's a huge cultural influence.
