CES 2016: Netflix Launches In 130 Countries, Including Israel

January 10, 2015 | On-demand streaming giant Netflix announced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas that its services are now available in Israel as well as 129 other countries. “While you have been listening to me talk, the Netflix service has gone live in nearly every country in the world except China,” Netflix Co-Founder and CEO Reed Hastings announced during his keynote speech. Most of the new markets will have access to platforms in English, though Netflix did add Korean and Arabic services. Its platform in Israel currently offers settings in English and Arabic, but not Hebrew. Crimea, North Korea, and Syria were not granted access to the service due to American restrictions.
