Debt Collection

Can the Israeli court freeze the debtor's bank account before I win the case?

Yes, through a Mareva-style interim injunction called a tzav 'ikul naskaim. You must demonstrate a prima facie case and that there is a real risk the debtor will dissipate assets. If granted, the debtor's bank account is frozen up to the claimed amount while the case proceeds. This requires prompt action at the outset of litigation.
