The story continues.
WMIL uploaded a letter from the Ministry of Justice, addressed to the
Commons Community, which confirm that the government don't have interest on
this photos. And not surprising, he was deleted from Commoms by the same
person who deleted all the photos so far:

The file was deleted because Hanay uploaded it as a self-authored
work. This is obviously not the case, so the deletion is valid. Please
refer to

If Israeli law has an exemption for government works, then perhaps we
can look at restoring it.
It saddens me that I am having to say this to the Chairman of
Wikimedia Israel, because it truly seems to me that you don't know how
Commons operates and what our mission is.
