Ban on iPad in Israel has been lifted after a technical scrutiny. Apple's new tablet was banned, because the Ministry of Communications declared that the iPad may interfere with other wireless devices. Couple iPads that had been brought from abroad have been confiscated and now are going to be returned to their rightful owners.
The same issue now occurs in South Korea, where the iPad hasn't been yet approved. Before the official launch, the device has to be tested for interference with other electronic devices. In Korea this is not only done for iPad, but also for other devices.
On the other hand I think that the ban in Israel was strange and mysterious, because the Ministry of Communications justified the ban with the interference standards set by European regulatory agencies. It is weird, because none of European countries have banned Apple's tablet. It is difficult to determine whether it was aimed at Apple or not, but one fact is sure. Apple will gain more customers and make higher profits.
