Israel maintains a steady volume of fax communications, driven by the persistent reliance on fax in healthcare, legal, and government sectors. Despite the country's reputation as a global technology leader, regulated industries continue to depend on fax where formal documentation, delivery confirmation, and compliance requirements take precedence over convenience.
Healthcare is one of the largest sources of fax traffic in Israel. Hospitals, health maintenance organizations (HMOs) such as Clalit, Maccabi, Meuhedet, and Leumit, and private clinics use fax extensively for patient referrals, medical records, prescriptions, lab results, and insurance claims. The legal profession relies on fax for court filings, contract exchanges, and correspondence between law firms -- faxed documents are recognized as valid written evidence in Israeli courts. Government agencies, including the Israel Tax Authority, the National Insurance Institute, and various ministries, continue to accept fax for official submissions, tax-related correspondence, and regulatory filings.
Israel's position as a high-tech hub with deep international business connections generates significant cross-border fax traffic. Companies in the technology, pharmaceutical, defence, and financial sectors frequently use fax for contracts, compliance documentation, and regulatory submissions when dealing with partners in the United States, Europe, and Asia. The financial sector -- banks supervised by the Bank of Israel, insurance companies, and securities firms regulated by the Israel Securities Authority (ISA) -- depends on fax for transaction confirmations, regulatory filings, and audit documentation.
Israel's data protection framework, governed by the Protection of Privacy Law and overseen by the Privacy Protection Authority, establishes requirements for handling personal information. Fax provides a direct point-to-point connection with a transmission confirmation, offering an audit trail that supports compliance with these obligations.
