Can a foreigner request a DNA paternity test in Israel?

Yes, but not without consent or a court order. Under the Genetic Information Law 2000, a private DNA test conducted without both parents' written consent is inadmissible in Israeli court. If the other party refuses, you must apply to the Family Court for a testing order. Both parties complying voluntarily can arrange testing at an accredited Israeli laboratory, and those results will be accepted by the court.
