However,
Israel’s Tax Authority (ITA) does 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃 an Israeli person to take formal responsibility.
There are 2 ways to accomplish this:
(𝟏) 𝐀𝐃𝐃 𝐀𝐍 𝐈𝐒𝐑𝐀𝐄𝐋𝐈 𝐃𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐑
A “Director” of an Israeli entity is like a board member. This person doesn’t need to be a shareholder.
If you’re able to get a friend to do it for free, great. Otherwise expect to pay for this service. This person is very much exposing themselves to all sorts of risk.
This is by far the easier of the two options.
(𝟐) 𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐓 𝐀𝐍 𝐈𝐒𝐑𝐀𝐄𝐋𝐈 𝐀𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐈𝐓𝐀
This is a somewhat more arduous process.
A Director of the Israeli entity needs to sign a tax form (Form 22 to be exact), as does this Representative.
If the Director doesn’t reside in Israel, then s/he will need to sign this form and have it apostilled.
Then the Representative will need to sign this form either at the VAT office or in front of a lawyer.
There’s more to say, and anyone wishing to execute this should definitely review the process in detail with their trusted guides on these matters.

I hope this clears up a few things, which will in turn allow everyone to smile more.
And after all, isn’t that what life is all about? 😊
