It's certainly possible but many new cordless phones have the AC adapter wired directly into the base without a plug and jack. For the Obi I would purchase the cordless phone in Israel and either crimp on a RJ-11 plug or get an adapter like this:

(the description is backwards, but the picture shows the right adapter)

IIRC the new Israeli plug is the same as the UK version but YMMV.
