Ruling: [We saw last time that we accept Israeli law, requiring a realtor’s license, a signed contract, and being the effective factor, and that it is unclear if pl was the effective factor.]
Pl understands the requirement of a signed contract just as a proof that the agent was the effective factor and therefore claims that since here it is clear (which we disputed previously) that he was such, he deserves the fee. However, it is clear from the law and subsequent court decisions that these are two separate requirements.
Pl argued that if def knew the apartment, they should have recognized if from the video in the WhatsApp advertisement. This acknowledges that if def had recognized it and used the information that it was now on the market to contact the owners, pl would not deserve his fee. In other words, he admits that this information is not enough. Rather, the agent has to perform a sufficient act of "showing an apartment," which, according to the law, must begin with signing a contract that lists pertinent details, including the address. Here, the law did its job, as before that point, def figured out that they did not need the agent.

On the other hand, it is likely that pl's efforts assisted def. Therefore it is noble as a voluntary compromise (pl had asked beit din not to rule based on compromise) for def to give pl a modest sum of money to reward him for the help and lessen pl's resentment.

Various Events FOR WHOM NOT TO VOTE
Rav Zvi Yehuda Kook stressed that Israeli politics is G-dly, so I have no problem answering this common question on a Torani blog. Also, Free-Will is a G-d-given right and obligation, to "destine one's fate" (R. Soloveichik, Kol Dodi Dofek, 67), so I obviously don't tell others how to vote. But once not a few (especially young) have already asked, a couple of personal words from experience and thoughts from chazal & Rav Kook which may be of help to others, mainly for whom NOT to vote.
