What streaming works in Israel — 2026 availability list

Updated 2026-04-24

TL;DR

Israel has wide streaming coverage — almost every major Western platform works, and local OTTs are highly competitive. Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, and Apple TV+ all work; local yes+ (Bezeq), HOT (cable), STING TV, and Cellcom TV compete fiercely. Hebrew-language originals are each local platform's differentiator. Spotify and Apple Music work fully. Korean services like Coupang Play and TVING don't work. IL is relatively VPN-permissive, but some local platforms require an Israeli ID (Teudat Zehut) for signup.

Tips

If routing a VPN to IL for yes+, HOT, or STING TV, pick a Tel Aviv node with a residential IP — Bezeq, Cellcom, and Partner residential ranges are best-trusted. Local platforms enforce strict GeoIP and require an Israeli ID (Teudat Zehut) plus a local bank account — cross-region signup is essentially infeasible. Hebrew originals like 'Fauda', 'Shtisel', and 'Tehran' are simulcast globally on Netflix, but other local content stays exclusive to Israeli OTT. IL is relatively VPN-permissive on international platforms, but switching account region can change subscription pricing.
