Israel has quite a serious problem with looting of antiquities. I was talking to an archaeologist a few months ago and suggested adopting something like the UK's Treasure Act so that people who find artefacts have a way of legally being paid for them and was met with blank incomprehension.

Israelis also have a serious problem with following rules (source: am an israeli) finding workarounds and doing what you want is almost a national pastime

In fairness, there are so many sites in this whole area that it is in fact very hard to comprehend how such schemes could be implemented.
