Can a foreign director manage an Israeli company remotely without being present in Israel?

Yes, a foreign director can manage an Israeli company remotely — Israeli law does not require directors to be Israeli residents or citizens. However, at least one director must hold a valid Israeli identity number or a valid Israeli residency document to be registered with the Registrar. Board resolutions can be signed by e-signature or in counterparts. Where physical signatures or notarized documents are needed for Registrar filings, a power of attorney in favor of a local attorney is the standard solution.
