Following LES' example of the new URL for Google Streets from June 2009, I succeeded in getting names inside the State of Israel (and also the disputed territories) in Hebrew, while the surrounding states of Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt are in Arabic/English, by using:

http://mt.google.com/vt/v=w2.97&hl=he&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d

I created a new repository reference "Google Streets Hebrew" so that I could use either version.

thanks both to Matan and LES
