https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/m7evkn/google-maps-gaza-israel > Google has refused to say whether it plans to update Google Maps with high-resolution imagery of the Israel and Gaza region now that a law banning such imagery has been lifted. For years, public satellite imagery of the region has been blurry because of a U.S. regulation that limited the quality and availability of such images. The law was lifted last year and at least one company Google Maps has used now offers higher resolution images of the area. > Apple has said it is working to update its own map product with higher-resolution imagery, while Google won't say what it will do.
