MANILA, Philippines – President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said on Friday, November 3, that he expects Filipinos still trapped in Gaza to be let out by Saturday, at the latest., told reporters in Malacañang that Israel has “promised” that Filipinos in Gaza would be allowed out on “Saturday at the latest.” Gaza, long-described by Human Rights Watch as an “open-air prison,” has been under siege for weeks, following an October 7 surprise attack by the militant Hamas on Israel. That surprise assault killed over 1,400 Israelis including four Filipinos, according to United Nations estimates.
It is Israel that decides on who is allowed to exit Gaza, before they proceed to the border of Egypt where their entry is then processed. De Vega earlier told media that around 500 names are produced daily by Israelis. The first batch of more than 500 foreigners allowed out of Gaza were composed mostly of Americans.
