Israel has given assurance to iron out with the Philippines some labor concerns related to Filipino domestic workers there as it reaffirmed its interest in hiring more caregivers from the country. | ManilaBulletin
Israel's move came as the Philippine government has put on hold since October 2022 the deployment of Filipino caregivers there due to challenges in Israeli legislation and the Philippine regulations, Israel Ambassador to the Philippines Ilan Fluss said Tuesday.
Unlike other Filipino workers in Israel, such as hotel workers who are hired by companies or institutions, Filipino caregivers are employed only by individuals."The moment we finish the technical discussions, we can start [the resumption of deployment] immediately," Fluss said in an interview with reporters.
Israel expressed greater interest in Filipino workers due to cultural similarities and historical ties the two countries have.
