Israels economy is too small to justify an AWS region (yet).

To find out where the next AWS regions are going, go to wikipedia and sort countries by GDP, any large country without a region is a target. Obviously there is some massaging happening, like AWS is considering all the nordic countries near Sweden.

Another thing would be if AWS started building smaller regions with only 1 DC. Right now a region requires at least 3 DCs with the AZ model... so that's a lot of capacity to fill.

While what you say makes perfect sense to _everyone_, sadly it is not true. London and Canada - both very new regions for AWS - each only have two availability zones (making them basically useless for a large class of infrastructure).
