Can a foreign national sue an Israeli employer for discrimination?

Yes. The Equal Employment Opportunities Law 5748-1988 applies to all workers employed in Israel regardless of their nationality or visa status. A foreign national who is discriminated against based on any of the protected categories listed in Section 2 can file a claim in the Regional Labor Court and recover compensation — including statutory damages of up to NIS 124,650 without needing to prove a specific monetary loss.
