Related (but not the same question) is judaism.stackexchange.com/q/27764. I recommend you see there for an example of clearly including in the question what you already know and what you are lacking.– msh210 ♦Apr 9, 2017 at 15:45

Rav Moshe Feinstein (OC 3:73) writes that there is a machlokes in the Shaarei Teshuva (496:3) about thi, but writes that the halacha follows the authorities who prohibit asking others to perform melacha on their behalf.
Rav Ovadia Yosef (Chazon Ovadia, Yom Tov p138) disagrees, writing that one is allowed to ask Israelis to perform melacha.
