Probably French, actually. There are exactly two major languages where Israel is officially spelled Israël, and those are Dutch and French; of those two, the only one that says Palestine rather than Palestina is French.
No, I have never seen it used specifically in Israel, but it is a diaeresis. It indicates that adjacent vowels are in separate syllables. It is most commonly seen in words like naïve.
This is fucking German, isn’t it?
Québécois in this case.

It’s not an Umlaut, it’s a diaeresis, so most likely French or Dutch, probably French cause of the spelling of Palestine (it’d be Palestina in Dutch)

You’re quite a language nerd, so I’ll take your word for it lol!
German doesn’t have an Umlaut for e, just for a, o, and u.

Israel is indeed a giant puddle of diaeresis
