The Philippine Ambassador to Israel, Alberto Maciroug, was summoned to a reprimand call at the Foreign Ministry over the Philippines' vote in the Human Rights Council in favor of setting up a commission of inquiry and investigation against Israel into the "Guardian" events.

The VP of Asia and the Pacific, Gilad Cohen, clarified to the ambassador that his country's vote is not acceptable to Israel and constitutes a reward for terrorism.
The UN Council is a biased and anti-Israeli body and the decision made is extremely one-sided, does not mention the Hamas terrorist organization at all and ignores 4,300 missiles fired at Israeli citizens.

Gilad Cohen: "It is inconceivable that a country like the Philippines, which suffers from extreme and murderous Islamic terrorism in the south of their country, would support a draft resolution that ignores the war crimes of the Hamas terrorist organization. "Israel expects friendly countries such as the Philippines not to support proposals that strengthen terrorism and to stand by us at this time."
