Israel has been one of the countries that the Philippines have blended with well over the past couple of years. It is part of the reason why Filipinos who wish to visit Israel for a limited time, are not going to be required to secure a visa.
Just recently, Israel's Ambassador to the Philippines made the announcement that around 1,000 jobs for Filipinos will be opened by the tourism sector of Israel. In addition to that, they said that this availability is going to happen in November of this year.

Israel-Philippine relationship
Since February 26, 1958, the Philippines and Israel made and signed a treaty of friendship that is existent up until now. Four (4) years after, Embassies in both Manila and Tel Aviv were made and established.

In addition to that, Harpaz put emphasis during a business conference that the agreement of Jerusalem with Manila is actually the first (1st) of its kind; to give warm hospitality to Filipino and Filipino workers.
How will the hiring of the 1,000 jobs for Filipinos in Israel be?
All interested Filipinos should be aware of how the application and hiring process will be to ensure that they would undergo legitimate government-to-government transactions. In addition to that, Israel also wishes not to deal with middle companies as they can be intrusive in both parties.
This is why the hiring of workers would be through the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA).
Contract for Filipino workers in Israel
According to Ambassador Harpaz, the contracts for workers would span in approximately (five) 5 years.
Moreover, Harpaz greatly approved and was clearly impressed by the attitude and work ethics of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). He continued to say that he and his countrymen enjoy working with Filipinos.

It’s another good news that by Christmas, I hope the first Filipino will go with visa to work in tourism. That would be history."
What Harpaz meant is that he is rooting to see the first (1st) Filipino to have a visa to work in their country for their country's tourism.
