I'm not aware of any public service provider nor university in Israel
which accepts open document format in principle.
But I'll be glad to be proven wrong. (It might be that a specific grader
at your university accepts documents at ".odt" format, but in general
the university does not support this format, as opposed to ".doc" format
which is "officially" supported).
But OpenOffice is capable of saving documents in the propriety ".doc"
format, which is the de facto standard in Israel. And you can have your
work reviewed that way.
Another option is to print it to PDF, but it's rather clumsy, because
the reviewer cannot edit directly your document.
First of all, you should stop top posting. It's frown upon in linux mailing
lists even more than giving microsoft documents to linux users.
Second, I don't know what field you are in, but at least in applied mathematics
in Israel, I don't know anyone who knows what to do with a word document.
odt is still a problem of course, but personally I refuse to send or receive
office documents from people in the university, and they manage to send PDFs for
whatever formatted documents they want to send or text otherwise. Very few
things actually need to be formatted as it turns out (and even when they are,
unless it is PDF it usually arrives in the wrong format).

So you decided to write in docx format and you expect people to
review your work?
I did not even looked at it because of the format.
If you write it in OpenOffice even if it does not look the best,
people may help you.
The issue of how it looks can be fixed later.
You may even work with simple text file to begin and later on
transfer it to a good word processor to do the formatting.
