Is a man who 'does a favour' to a single woman and donates sperm so she can have a child, safe from future child support claims, if she promises him not to bring legal proceedings?

No, definitely not! If he is the biological father, then ,under Israeli law, he is liable financially for supporting the child, even if the woman gives him a promise otherwise, orally or in writing. Such 'promises' or agreements between them do not bind the child, who is free to file his/her independent plea for child support via his biological mother, his natural guardian.
