Yes, all Israel stamps have the name in Arabic, English and Hebrew. The same generally also applies to postmarks too. Also, the Palestine Mandate stamps (1920-1948) had them in Arabic, English and Hebrew too for stamps, overprints and postmarks. However, the Palestine occupation stamps from Egypt (Gaza Strip) and Trans-Jordan/Jordan (West Bank) from 1948-1967 had only Arabic and English for stamps, overprints and postmarks. Sometimes looking at the language on stamps and postmarks gives an idea of how different sides overall consider each other.
Scott doesn't list the personalized sheets, but the basic stamp is #1832, Happy Holidays. It was issued in sheets of 25 I believe, then there were the personalized sheets of in 12 and 9 stamp formats. I show 6 different sheets in the 9 stamp format, and 8 in the 12 stamp format. That doesn't include the ones that customers can order with their own pictures.
It is a requirement of UPU that postage stamps used for international purposes contain the name of the issuing country in Roman letters. The U.K. is, I believe, the only country not subject to this requirement.
