dailyrecord.co.uk:

Neil Lennon has revealed that homesick Hatem Elhamed is close to sealing an exit after struggling to adapt to life in Scotland.The right-back has played just 17 minutes since the defeat to Milan at San Siro in December.And speaking to BBC Scotland his manager announced that a deal is close that will see the defender return to his homeland.Lennon revealed: "Hatem El Hamed might be going back to Israel."A fee's been agreed.

I'm not sure it's been finalised yet."He's really struggled with life here, his wife and young son are back in Israel and he's been through a really rough time of it mentally rather than anything else."So I think for his wellbeing he really wanted to go home, so that deal's going to come to fruition, I think, either today.
