The Families of Fallen Soldiers Law was amended recently, which prohibits employers in Israel from dismissing any employee who is a member of a fallen soldier’s family (“bereaved employee”), from docking his/her wages, from reducing his/her appointment percentage and from sending him/her home on unpaid leave during the year of mourning.

This past weekend, a precedent-setting ruling was issued in the case of Bizi Finance Ltd., in which the court was required to determine whether a promissory note signed electronically could be enforced through the enforcement and collection offices.

Important updates relating to the Financial Information Service Law have been published in recent days.
