The product is called Israeli couscous because it is a product conceived by the Israeli company Osem as a substitute for rice, which at the time of its creation, was difficult to obtain in sufficient quantity. Since it is a form of pasta resembling the original form of couscous, and it is a distinctly Israeli food, the name is descriptive.

Incidentally, it is known as p'titím in Israel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_couscous

The first sentence in that wikipedia link:

Giant couscous (Hebrew: פְּתִיתִים‎, p'titím, lit. 'flakes', singular: פְּתִית, p'tít, lit. 'flake')[2] – sometimes called pearl couscous – is toasted pasta in tiny balls. It has been a common food across the Middle East since being introduced by Moroccans in the Early Modern period.

If you want just plain pearl couscous, we've been in the habit of buying the 5lb bag from Gordon Food Service. Price is similar. $15.81 for 5lbs here and $16.99 at GFS. https://gfsstore.com/products/340018/

Oh, and look, the page also says...

Quote :
History
Original rice-shaped "Ben-Gurion rice". The front label introduces the history of the product (see above).
Ptitim was created in 1953,[3] during the austerity period in Israel.[4]
Israel's first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, asked Eugen Proper, one of the founders of the Osem food company, to devise a wheat-based substitute for rice.[5] The company took up the challenge and developed ptitim, which is made of hard wheat flour and toasted in an oven. Ptitim was initially produced with a rice-shape, but after its success Osem also began to produce a ball-shaped variety inspired by couscous.[6]
Consequently, ptitim is sometimes called "Ben-Gurion rice".[7]
and also

Quote :
While moghrabieh and maftoul are produced by rolling dough between the palms or fingers, ptitim are formed by extrusion through a die in the same process as many other pastas,[15] and the two are somewhat different in terms of taste and preparation.[3]
So, similar, but not the same.

Odd, how the image is now of the rear of the product's container, where there is no mention of the food's Israeli origin.

Not to worry, though. Here it is...
