The BlackBerry should work on the GPRS network in both Hong Kong and Israel, as seen in the link below.

List of AutoRoam partner networks for GPRS

I haven't been overseas yet with my BlackBerry but I'm sure it'll work in the US and England when I go there in August/September.

Hope this helps. You can also ring up Optus Customer Service, I find them quite helpful.
