Are child abductions between Israel and North America covered by the Hague Convention ?

Yes. Israel, United States and Canada are all bound by the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of Child Abduction. Thus legal action can be taken under the convention for the return of a child under 16 that has been abducted to/from Israel and either the United States or Canada .
