On the Deportation of Filipino Nationals by the Israeli Government

27 July 2019 – The Philippine Embassy in Tel Aviv continues to coordinate with Israel’s Population and Border Authority (PIBA) to facilitate the humane and decent treatment in the repatriation of overstaying Filipinos and their families. 

The Embassy also stands ready to provide the necessary travel documents for those who need it  to ensure an orderly repatriation.

While the Philippines respects Israeli laws, it reiterates its request for the Israeli government to treat overstaying Filipinos in a humane and decent manner, most especially when children are involved. 

In the same light, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) calls on Filipinos in Israel to observe the host country's laws.

The DFA stands ready to provide the necessary assistance to affected Filipinos, and is working with other government agencies on reintegration programs for those who will be repatriated. 

Affected Filipinos may also join the orientation program initiated by the Embassy to provide more information on the repatriation program  as well as on the Philippine government’s reintegration services. END
