I have no idea if this will work or not...so let us know if it does...
Have you looked at or tried the iocharset and/or codepage options of the
mount command?
I think you'd want to specify iocharset=iso8859-8,codepage=cp1255
Ed
MS-DOS or Windows filesystems (vfat, ntfs, smbfs, cifs, iso9660, udf) need iocharset for
non-ASCII, codepage is needed for vfat and smbfs.
Iocharset should be the same as character set of your locale.
Codepage should be set to codepage number used under MS-DOS in the country.
