《刑法》第 291 A 节规定了外国贿赂罪行，涵盖了《联合国反腐败公约》第十六条第一款中描述的所有行为。除了贿赂目的和对“国外公职人员”一词的定义外，该罪行的要素与国内贿赂罪的要素一致，“国外公职人员”一词的定义符合《公约》中对“公职人员”和“国际公共组织官员”的定义。经过审议，出于政治考虑，以色列决定不将外国公职人员被动受贿定为刑事犯罪。
Section 291A of the Penal Law enacts the foreign bribery offence and includes all the acts described in article 16(1) of the United Nations Convention against Corruption. The elements of the offence are identical to those of domestic bribery, other than the purpose of the bribe and the definition of the term “foreign public official”, which is in line with the definitions of the terms “foreign public official” and “official of a public international organization” in the Convention. After consideration, and due to policy concerns, it was decided not to establish as a criminal offence the passive bribery of foreign public officials.
