Can a man file a woman for compensation for 'stealing' his sperm, if she gets pregnant, having assured him she was on the pill?

He can certainly open a file against the woman - but will have virtually no chance of success. This is because under Israeli law adults having sexual intercourse take a risk as to possible consequences of their actions, and are responsible for them, even if the result is an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy and the birth of a child. Israeli law places an absolute burden of responsibility on the biological father of a child, to support the minor financially , regardless of whether he intended to create a child or not when he had sex with the mother. The mother of your child can sue you for paternity and child maintenance, on behalf of the minor.
