Will an Israeli court grant interim measures if the arbitration is seated outside Israel?

Yes, in appropriate circumstances. Israeli courts can grant interim measures in support of foreign-seated arbitrations where there is a sufficient Israeli connection, such as Israeli assets that need to be protected or an Israeli party against whom enforcement will ultimately be sought. The updated 2024 Israeli arbitration law has strengthened the statutory basis for this. However, courts will want to see the arbitration agreement, the seat, and the applicable rules before acting, so your application should address these clearly.
