A Tel Aviv district court issued an order today barring two American directors of the United States Operations Mission from leaving Israel in a dispute over dismissal pay.
The Mission concluded operations this month and some 70 Israelis working for the mission were sent dismissal notices effective June 11. The workers demanded dismissal indemnification, a common practice in Israel. When the request was rejected, the workers filed suit and asked the court for an order to bar the USOM officials from leaving the country pending a hearing on the suit.
