Since the country where he works from isnt in good terms with Israel, he travels to Israel from his homecountry X. Wouldn't the immigration officer in country X bar him passage due to the fact that a visa is only recognised if sticked on a passport, and not a piece of paper?

Why would the embassy give someone a visa in a way they couldn't
actually use? It would be pointless. Since embassies do hand out visas
in that manner, we can safely assume airlines accept them.
