The hechsherim situation in Israel is very corrupted, it started with some idiots in the eidah chareidis that used to be the hechsheirem monopoly in Israel (specifically in Jerusalem) so when someone tried opening an hechsher they made sure (thru terror) that no one is gonna eat from them!!! this is what happened to belz and then again to rubin , machpud is a different situation because of sfardic halacha is different then ashkenazi in certain things
