Is freedom of movement to leave Israel a constitutional right ?

Yes, every person is free to leave Israel, according to the 1992 Human Dignity and Freedom Act, which is a basic law, of elevated  and protected value. This freedom can only be infringed , by law, in very special circumstances, and in a certain way. Sometimes the freedom to depart from Israel's borders is infringed, if the person's exit is likely to hinder a legal process. The Supreme Court  has held that an exit order should only be  placed on a foreign resident, whose centre of life is outside Israel, in the rarest circumstances.
