Seems like a Good Plan - From G Point of view...
Let's hope that they won't be too aggressive with big budgets and won't rumpus with current SEM firms anf Google advertising proffessionals, a good thing that might come out of this move is an attention to:

• AdWords - Solving the problem with # of characters restriction in Ad texts.
• AdSense - Hebrew support and encoding issues, AD RTL support.
• Gmail and other features- Hebrew support.
