How can I get my son back to Russia after his mother abducted him to Israel?

The Russian Federation only signed the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of Child Abduction in 2011, and Israel has not yet approved its accession. Accordingly, the convention is not yet in force regarding cases of child abduction between Israel and the Russia. This means that you cannot use the fast-track mechanism created by the convention to get your abducted son back. You can use other legal proceedings to secure his return to Russia, and apply for a "Habeas Corpus" order in Israel.
