Yoav and Miriam Moati, aged 91 and 87, who need nursing assistance, were left unaccompanied as a result of protest protests by the Foreign Ministry staff committee.
The couple's previous caregiver fled and was replaced by a new worker from the Philippines who was due to arrive in Israel tomorrow.
However, the Israeli embassy in the Philippines refused to approve a worker visa, as part of a workers' committee protest march, with the aim of improving their wages.
Their only home, Meira Lahani, appealed to all officials in the Foreign Ministry, including the Minister's Office and the Workers' Committee, to allow the worker to come to Israel.
However, all her applications were rejected.
The workers' committee confirmed that the case is known to them, but due to the sanctions, they refuse to allow the worker to obtain the visa to Israel.
The ad published by the workers' committee,
Lahani, who was left to take care of her two elderly parents alone, is furious.
"They have given their whole lives for the State of Israel. In many days, when they need a foreign worker, they will not be able to accept her because the Foreign Ministry wants a pay rise," said Ira.
"It is not possible for the elderly of the State of Israel to be beaten everywhere, both by foreign workers and by the workers' committee that made them prisoners until his wages were raised. I can not understand the opacity. I am very angry with the Foreign Ministry and its employees. "Increase wages. There are different and varied ways to protest and certainly not so. This is not the way! Where have all the sentences gone?
The Foreign Ministry Workers 'Committee stated that "for several months now, the Foreign Ministry's Workers' Committee has been pointing to the continuing harm to its workers in Israel and its emissaries abroad."
Despite repeated warnings, our efforts to advance negotiations have failed.
The Foreign Minister reiterated his support for the workers' demands, but in practice there has been no change for the better and the harm to our workers continues.
The responsibility for harming civilians therefore lies with the Foreign Minister.
We are ready to stand up for negotiations at any time and place in order to bring an end to the crisis quickly. "
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
