I've seen several lists with similar information. They all seem to be 30 or so years behind. (Upper Volta, East Germany and other countries long gone are still live and well on these)

The US Department of Commerce has a list, on which most others are based. (Have a look at their webpage for the most update version.)

The list you quote is based on the 1991 version. It contains various strange informations like Spain being on 127V but about to change to 220V!

My guess is that Israel use the 220-240/380-415V like most countries. The country is a new one (1948) and belonged to the Brits before. It's also small. There cannot be much room for a plethora of systems.

Countries like the US where electricity came first still have to fight with a whole range of different systems. For a country choosing a system when electricity was already a mature technology, there would have been little incentive to adopted any other than the most common of these.
