At a certain point an oleh has to make peace with the fact that he's living in a different country. Just because the OU refuses to certify non-glatt meat in the US is not a reason one can't eat it in Israel.
Common sense tells us that if one is strictly kosher, they must go according to their way of shopping for meat. In Israel today, one who observes kashrut must be more careful than when purchasing meat and eating in restaurants in the USA. It is usually clear which place is trustworthy and truly kosher and which is just 'kosher style'. There are many problems and stories of being fooled in today's Medina. The safest way when in Israel is relying on family and good friends who observe like yourself, and buy from and eat in those specific restaurants.
