Question juridique clé
Whether the payment order was validly served on the State of Israel through diplomatic transmission.
Solution extraite
The service was valid; diplomatic transmission through the Swiss Embassy to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs was effective on 20 August 2009.
Motifs extraits
The Hague Service Convention applies, but the diplomatic channel used here was permissible and no translation into Hebrew was required in this context. The court found no basis for nullity under debt-enforcement law.
