Are there lower-cost arbitration options in Israel for smaller commercial disputes?

Yes. The Israeli Centre for Commercial Arbitration (ICCA) and Bar Association-affiliated bodies like the Mishkan and CADR are designed for cost-effective domestic disputes and are significantly cheaper than ICC or LCIA proceedings. For disputes below ₪200,000, the Israeli Magistrates Court's simplified track or small-claims procedure is almost always more economical than any form of arbitration. Many contracts specify that disputes below a threshold amount go to a sole arbitrator under ICCA rules with a fixed-fee cap — a practical middle ground.
