Just a comparison to my machine which is an M1 MB Air under Ventura with
a German localisation:

LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

On macOS the locale is set in system preferences on the language and
region tab. I suggest you give other options available there a try and
see what happens to your locale.

I wonder whether there is a locale en-IL at all on the Mac?

BTW, just in case, you will need exec-path-from-shell in order to access
environment variables in Emacs.
