These are similar to my own old bike - they're very versatile, i.e., do most of what you ask for, and may be available in Isreal. If you're anywhere near either Tel Aviv or Jerusalem aren't there multiple bike shops there? I know I went on one ride with some guys in Jerusalem who had more bicycle bling than a really bling bicycle thing
.
The position on the bike is what you make it (low or high), cyclocross bikes handle like criterium bikes (fast and nimble) and you can use p-clips to mount the rear rack on stays if they don't have eyelets.
