Memorial Service for Mr. Mobariz

On April 6, 2021, the MFO’s Cairo Office held a memorial service in honor of Mr. Ashraf Mobariz, our Senior Liaison and Security Officer in Cairo, who died on November 5, 2020, due to complications from COVID-19. The event was attended by Mr. Mobariz’s son, two of his siblings, his colleagues from our Cairo Office staff, MG Samer Kamal, Chief of Egypt’s Liaison Agency with International Organizations, and the MFO’s Director General, Ambassador Beecroft.

The event provided an occasion for his family, colleagues, and friends to exchange their memories of Mr. Mobariz, share their fondness for him, and celebrate his remarkable life. During the memorial, his family was presented with the MFO Director General’s Award which Mr. Mobariz was awarded posthumously for his many contributions to peace between Egypt and Israel. In addition, an area of the MFO office garden was dedicated to his memory, replete with a commemorative bench and plaque, and the symbolic planting of an olive tree donated by our colleagues from our office in Tel Aviv.
