Can a father who has to come to Israel to attend hearings in legal proceedings he took to get his abducted child returned home,overseas, recover the money he paid on flights and hotel accommodation during his stay, from the child’s mother, as well as getting the child returned?

Yes! In January 2011 Rishon LeZion Family Court in Israel granted an order for the return of an abducted baby to Finland, and in its judgment ordered the mother,who had abducted the minor, to reimburse the father for the money he paid on flight tickets and hotel accommodation he incurred as a result of the abduction.
