Abstract
A foreign judgment lacks validity, and must undergo a process of integration, before it can be recognized or enforced in Israel. Israeli law’s methods of integration are detailed in the Foreign Judgments Enforcement Law, 5718-1958 (Enforcement Law). This establishes a distinct normative framework on whose sole basis the courts in Israel may recognize a foreign judgment or declare it enforceable (see Chap. 6 infra for a discussion of enforcement options outside the framework of the Law).
