Israeli Legal Guidance
for Non-Residents Worldwide

You can do it from wherever you now live. Section 13D of the Consumer Protection Law 5741-1981 lets you end a continuing service by telephone, email, registered post or through the website where you signed up online, and the business must stop charging within 3 business days of your notice, or 6 business days by registered post. Charges taken after that must be refunded, and the Law allows compensation of up to NIS 10,000 without proof of damage where a business keeps billing after a valid cancellation.

No. The 2019 Hague Judgments Convention entered into force for the United Kingdom on 1 July 2025, but Israel signed it on 3 March 2021 and has not ratified it, so it creates no route between the two countries. An English money judgment is still enforced under the Foreign Judgments Enforcement Law 5718-1958, helped by the 1970 UK-Israel convention on reciprocal enforcement, through an application to an Israeli District Court made within five years of the judgment under Section 5.

Not because of the reserve duty, and not during it without a permit. Section 41A of the Discharged Soldiers (Reinstatement to Work) Law 5709-1949 voids a dismissal caused by reserve service and bars dismissal during service, and for 30 days after service of more than two consecutive days, unless the Employment Committee at the Ministry of Defence approves it. The employer carries the burden of proof, and arrangements made permanent in 2026 extend the protected window to 60 days for employees who serve 60 days or more in a year.

You cannot dismiss them for it. Section 2 of the Protection of Employees in Emergency Law 5766-2006 bars dismissing an employee who is absent because Home Front Command instructions kept them away during a declared special situation on the home front, and it protects a parent staying home with a child under 14 when schools are closed, subject to conditions. The Law does not itself require wages for those days, and a dismissal in breach is a criminal offence that the Labour Court can compensate without proof of loss.
