Israeli sources denied the report, saying preparations for Duterte's September visit are being carried out as planned.
In a speech on Tuesday, Duterte said he would send Philippine Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu to Israel, ahead of his own visit, to examine the situation of Filipino workers in the country.
"It is expensive. So I’ve been trying to figure out whether I go or not," Duterte was quoted as saying. "I’m going to Israel, why? Because it’s heating up. And there are 28,000 Filipinos there," he said in the same speech. Duterte added that he will also visit Jordan, which he said is home to 48,000 Filipinos.
