Israeli Ambassador Ilan Fluss, Consul Moti Cohen, and OWWA administrator Arnell Ignacio condole with the family of OFW Grace Cabrera.

Israeli Ambassador Ilan Fluss and Consul Moti Cohen attended the arrival of the ashes of Grace Cabrera, the slain overseas Filipino worker today, 6 November.

Cabrera and her 96 year-old employer Aviva Sela were killed when Hamas terrorists stormed into Kibbutz Beeri and murdered many members of the community.

Grace Cabrera will be joining the big Israeli family of "Victims of Terror" together with the 1,400 others that have been murdered last October 7. Her family will be receiving lifetime benefits and assistance from the Israeli government.

"My sincerest condolences and sympathy to the family of Grace. At the same time, I would like to thank her for dedicating her life serving and protecting her Israeli employer. Israelis consider all the OFWs who were murdered by Hamas as heroes. They are now forever part of our family," Ambassador Fluss said.

Israel is at war with the terror organization Hamas which is trying to destroy Israel and murder Jews. "We will bring the 240 hostages back home and will make sure that the Hamas terrorists cannot do such atrocities again in the future. We will protect Israelis and Filipinos alike," Ambassador Fluss added.
