Yes. Years ago the Jerusalem Family Court dealt with a clear case of abduction of two minors from the United States , where their separated Israeli parents had lived for many years, to Israel, and conditioned the granting of a Hague Convention return order upon the father in Los Angeles depositing a total of $8,000 with the mother in Israel, or someone abroad, for rental of accommodation and child maintenance for two months, car rental for a month and the purchase of basic furniture. The court held that immediately the mother notified it that the father had deposited the above sums, then the orders preventing the children leaving Israel would be cancelled, and the return order it granted to the United States would be activated.

In this case the mother agreed to return voluntarily – but had demanded support for the initial period following her return.
