When the extradition of an Israeli citizen who is also a resident, is requested, Israel requires a preliminary commitment that the requested person will be allowed to serve the prison sentence, if imposed, in Israel.
Current law generally allows the extradition of nationals who are not residents of Israel. It also allows the extradition of those who are both nationals and residents at the time of committing the offense for which the extradition is sought. This extradition, however, is for the purpose of standing trial in the requesting country, while any prison sentences are to be served in Israel.

The criminal laws of the United States, whether state or federal, ordinarily apply only to conduct within U.S. territory. Sometimes, however, they apply to conduct abroad, from antitrust conspiracies to torture. Where such extraterritorial criminal prescriptive jurisdiction exists under U.S. law, jurisdiction typically exists under the law of another country as well, such as the country where the conduct occurred.
