    iBooks Author has bugs with RTL scripts like Hebrew and Arabic which make it generally unsuitable for creating such books.

     

    The iBookstore requires epub3 format for Hebrew/Arabic.  iBooks Author cannot produce this format, so you will have to use another app anyway.

     

    Last I heard the iBookstore does not yet accept Hebrew/Arabic books even in the right format, but that could have changed.  If it hasn't, you would need to try publishing using another store, like Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Googlebooks, or Sony.
