Delta and Continental have announcements in Hebrew and Hebrew speaking FAs. Most if not all European airlines don't have these features on their Israel flights.

This always reminds me of a TWA flight where there was not any Hebrew speaking FA and they gave an African-American FA a sheet with the announcements in Hebrew written in English. It was something like:
"Ge-Bi-Ro-Tai Ve-Ra-Bo-Tai, Na Le-Ha-Dek Et Ha-Go-Rot Ha-Mo-Shav ...". The poor guy was reading this all night ...
