Yuval’s parents, Siglit and Dani, stated: “She had a light in her eyes, she really liked being there and planned to study psychology,” they said. “For 24 years she was a magical princess who was lost to us and we can’t digest what happened to us. We don’t understand what happened, an unfathomable loss. She was never angry, she was amazing and talented.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working to return the bodies of those killed in the accident to Israel.
The literature teacher at the Reali School Yael Pizov wrote about her student Yuval Keshet: “What a black morning. What a black morning for the world. Yuval was my student.

Her hand is raised in the air, and her mouth Always insights, questions, the curious musings of a thinking, understanding person, a person whose literary work succeeds in activating thought and creative processes.
“Yuval is the kind of student whose eyes a teacher needs when he is explaining or reading because then he gets confirmation, confirmation that everything is fine. I can’t talk about her in the past tense, because Yuval is a person full of life – she has that twinkle in her eyes – the one that exists in young people who want Conquer the world – full of ideas, energy and laughter, with short jeans and sandals and surrounded by friends. Always in action, always doing and all with a smile and a desire to help.
