No. From 2001-2003 there were a few Starbucks in Israel, but these were withdrawn when Starbucks found the location was uncompetitive.

What kinds of cuisine are popular in Israel?
Israel has a very multifaceted cuisine,there is lots of influence ;from other countries. Where at one time, most people knew of blintzes and latkes,and dips. Israel has went in new directions with it's cuisine.Traditionally pork,rabbit and shellfish are forbidden.All dairy dishes are prepared separately,from meat dishes and desserts. Isreal-Mizrahi is similar to Asian cuisine: grilled meats, pastry(sweet and savory), rice and pita. Most desserts are of Turkish influence, like blancmange and baklava.

If you drink water from the Dead Sea will you die?
Depends how much you drink. Too much could kill you because of sodium overdose, but it shouldn't kill you normally.
===============================
Answer #2:
If that were true, then ships at sea wouldn't need to carry a lot of drinking water. They'd only need a little of it, to sweeten up the sea water all around them for drinking.
Fact is, sea water is a deadly drink over a relatively short period of time, and "sodium overdose" has nothing to do with it.
Your body chemistry is set up so that your cells absorb fresh water. A significant salt content in the water reverses this "osmotic" pressure, and the flow is in the opposite direction. Just as a salt rub draws moisture out of a chicken or a steak, salt water draws water OUT of your body's cells. The more sea water you drink, the MORE dehydrated you become, and you don't last long.
What type of olives do Israelis eat?
Yes, not only are they fine for Passover, but they have become an important symbol of peace and have even been adopted as a ritual item for Jews praying for peace in Israel and Palestine.

Where can you buy matzot in Israel online?
If - like me - you live in an area with few or no other Jews, kosher-for-Passover matzah can be quite difficult to find. Some supermarkets stock them if there's even a small local Jewish population, but if you have no shops specialising in kosher goods you may have to buy it through mail order.
Google "kosher pesach matzah" and you should find a choice of companies that offer it for sale online - hopefully one of them will be able to mail a packet to wherever you live. This should be no problem at all if you live in the USA, EU, near large cities in South America or Australia but might prove trickier in the Middle East (except Israel, obviously) or parts of Asia, Africa and rural South America.
Otherwise, you could make your own. In some areas, Jewish men form groups called chaburas who produce the special shmurah matzah ("guarded" - meaning production is closely supervised to ensure the flour has not been in contact with water for more than 18 minutes from start to finish, which would make it chametz - ie; prohibited during Passover - and therefore unsuitable for Passover use). However, it's a labour-intensive task and you'd need rabbinical supervision to be absolutely certain that your matzah were Passover kosher. Another way would be to make egg matzah, in which egg or fruit juice (not all egg matzah contain egg) in place of water, because although both eggs and fruit juice contain water they are not considered to make the matzah chametz. This would also be labour-intensive and you'd need to make sure you used only 100% fruit juice, not juice made from concentrate to which water has been added, as this will again make it chametz if the production process takes more than 18 minutes. To be absolutely certain your matzah are kosher, you would need rabbinical supervision once again, so it might be easiest if you just try to buy mail-order matzah online!
