Apparently my account thinks I'm a US citizen and I'm not. Can't verify phone number this way.

Hi. I'm from Israel and for some reason my PayPal is completely out of touch with this.
I can't add an Israeli address (can only select US states) and can't verify my phone number (probably because PayPal thinks I should be providing an american phone number.)
I can't open a different account because my Email, credit cards, info etc everything is on this account bar the phone #.
Opening a different account is illogical in this point, is there a way to change my account's country? (I wonder what PayPal expects people who migrate to different countries to do, open a new account as well? can't be)
Phone number is currently last step for PayPal account verification.

Paypal is country specific, if your account is asking for a U.S address then you must have opened a U.S paypal account by mistake.
Go and open one in your own country.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
