Israeli Courts have dealt with the issue of “Conflict of Laws” in numerous cases, mainly due to the geographic proximity between the State of Israel and the West Bank, and the interdependency of Palestinian and Israeli markets. Until the year 2000 tens of thousands of Palestinians were employed in the West Bank (where Jordanian law applies) by Israeli Companies, and in Israel(where the Israeli law applies). Hence, the Court has often been called upon to decide which law is properly applicable to the accident, and accordingly, what reliefs are available to the parties.
