Can I do anything to stop my foreign girlfriend,who is pregnant,and due to give birth to our child in a few months, from leaving Israel ,and stopping me from having a meaningful role in raising our mutual child?

Yes! You can take advantage of certain provisions in Israeli legislation which acknowledge and protect the rights of a foetus (unborn child),and ask the family court to grant an emergency ex-parte order to prevent your girlfriend from leaving the country. A hearing will be set afterwards,even if the ex-parte order is granted,and both parties will have the opportunity to put forward their case.
