00:01Even in the Israeli movement, which is the behavior of Israeli tourists in Sharada, or the alleged behavior of Israeli
00:08tourists in Sharada.
00:10Let me first and foremost start by saying,
00:14the Israeli tourist who is misbehaving. The relevant authorities should inflict any laws because they need to enforce the law.
00:30Because we are Western and the Philippines is an amazing house hospitality and receiving guests like ourselves.
00:43And it's important for every one of us to respect the culture and the religion and the community if you
00:50are out there.
00:51And I'm an Israeli diplomat, and it's the higher I'm an Israeli diplomat in the Philippines,
00:57that my goal is to protect Israeli citizens if they are in distress.
01:01I'm saying very loudly clear, if they are misbehaving, it's not distress.
01:06They should be either arrested or anything that has been inflicted upon them by the laws of the Philippines.
01:16Having said that, we know that the situation of tourism back and forth from Israel,
01:25even despite the war, there are a few years ago in Israel, there are thousands of Israelis coming here.
01:32Some of them, when they come here, they go to the provinces.
01:35Of their oil of devilism is taking care of their parents.
01:39Because they become a family and they will visit them.
01:43So the church was the 7,000 island, a mini paradise that we have here, and of course, cherish the
01:52people.
01:53And Girardal is a wonderful destination for surfing, and for that it's a very big attraction of thousands of Israelis.
02:02And if, as I mentioned, one of those Israelis, or a group of those Israelis are misbehaving,
02:09they should be putting under the relevant punishment by the law-enforcing of the units that are in the place.
02:28But we also know that this tourism has opportunities and challenges.
02:37Because as much as we want people to come to our nations, we also want, if we are living in
02:42a place,
02:43we want to live there in peace and to treat it as our own.
02:47And once they're in the leaf class and over-tourism, it can cause a lot of exchanging the community,
02:54a livelihood of people.
02:59And I imagine that that's what has happened also in Girardal.
03:03And if, if I, when I looked at some of the testimonial that are on social media,
03:13I do identify that, that, first of all, there's a lot of anti-Israel or anti-Semitic notion that,
03:21and so everything is creating a different atmosphere.
03:25And if there's a rattle apple, and if there's an Israeli tourist who had done wrong, he should impress me.
03:30But we, I would urge and encourage you, as media representing the situation,
03:36not to paint all of this way, this tourism here, and swatanatos.
03:41Because that's very far from the front.
03:44And I have shared, I met the former tourism secretary, Secretary Vasco,
03:55and we discussed even this issue, and I said loud and clear,
03:59if there's an Israeli who's believing, he's enforcing relevant laws.
04:08But, bear in mind that there are some Israelis who are feeling not welcome here
04:13because there is a sentiment that they want to, you know, tear or something,
04:19or an anti-Israeli sentiment.
04:20And we need to bear in mind that maybe, and as we already know,
04:25the social media can have defendants.
04:29The recent amplification was caused by an Israeli media.
04:33The Israeli main channel, Mako, had published two events that had been addressed
04:38and I think that if those Israelis had jumped from a bridge, for example,
04:43while they were asked by the policeman not to do so, and they done so,
04:48they should be put in jail or a fine or whatever,
04:51and the police, the Filipino police will decide that there will be their punch.
04:56And we'll see you next time.
05:15Bye.
05:15Bye.
05:17Bye.
05:26Bye.
05:26Bye.
