The Israeli diplomat mentioned the bravery of Pinay caregiver Camille Jesalva who risked her life to save her 95-year-old patient from an attack by the Hamas group in October 2023.

The Israeli government honored Jesalva for her heroism this July 2024.

Fluss and Tulfo also discussed the technology used by Israel to meet the need for clean and potable water.

This Israeli water technology, Tulfo said, can also be adopted in the Philippines.

On the other hand, Tulfo promised Ambassador Fluss to support the bill setting August 9 as Philippine-Israel Friendship Day.
