Israel no exit order: Australian Noam Huppert barred from leaving country over child support debt | news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site
An Australian dad facing an effective 8000-year prison sentence overseas says he is one of thousands of foreign men to fall victim to a little-known local law.
An Australian citizen who has been trapped in Israel since 2013 says he is one of thousands of foreign men to fall victim to a little-known local law.Noam Huppert, 44, is officially barred from leaving the country until December 31 in the year 9999 – effectively an 8000-year prison sentence – or until he pays more than $3 million in future child support payments.
Mr Huppert moved to Israel in 2012 to be closer to his two young children, after his former spouse returned to the country the previous year when they were aged three months and five years old.
Soon after, their mother brought a case in Israeli court, which issued a so-called stay-of-exit order against him due to his six-figure “future debt” of 5000 Israeli shekels per month, until both children turn 18.
Noam Huppert is officially barred from leaving Israel until 9999.
Until he pays the money, Mr Huppert is barred from leaving the country for any reason – even for holiday or work.
“Since 2013, I am locked in Israel,” said Mr Huppert, who works as an analytical chemist for a pharmaceutical company.
Mr Huppert says Australian citizens have been “persecuted by the Israeli ‘justice’ system only because they were married to Israeli women”.
