AFAIK that's impossible to keep Israeli timezone up-to-date out of the box for a prolonged period of times - Israeli timezone is not fixed but set by the Knesset on case-by-case basis. Unless I have missed something and sanity made a small victory in this field.



It is impossible, unless you have a reliable update mechanism in place, yes. In particular, if your update mechanism is reliable enough that people actually use it when security problems are fixed, or even occasionally, then you have a machine that has accurate (enough) and up to date (enough) time zone information.

These conditions are met with Debian.
