Israel - Identification of Stone statue

I recently read a book about Israel titled "Israel, Enchantment of the World".

It features a cover that has a stone wall in the background and what seems to be a tall stone statue with a long carved face.

However, in the book there's no mention of this, and I don't know what it is. I've asked some local Israelis what it is, but they didn't know.

So, what and where is this:
