Palestinian envoy pledges help for captured Thai workers

[snoop1130]

 

The Palestine ambassador to Thailand has pledged to help with efforts to secure the release of Thai workers being held by Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.

 

The Thai Foreign Ministry confirmed that at least 11 Thai workers were reported to be kidnapped during the Hamas attacks on areas bordering the Gaza Strip on Saturday.  It said 12 Thais were killed in the fighting.

 

Palestinian Ambassador Walid Abu Al told Thai PBS World in an interview that he met this morning with his Thai counterpart Ambassador Lada Phumas who conveyed Thai Foreign Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara’s request for Palestine’s help for the Thai workers being held in Gaza Strip.

But Israeli, American, etc. captives, forget about it!

 

Anyway, it is good news if the Thai captives can be released without being murdered by the Hamas terrorists.

Why does the Palestine ambassador to Thailand have a Malaysian flag behind him?

The full article says that he is the Palestinian ambassador to both Thailand and Malaysia.

Thank you. I must have overlooked that part. Not common to be ambassador to multiple countries. And I'd expect him to put a Thai flag behind him when being interviewed by Thai TV.

Can we presume that the Palestinian Ambassador to Thailand and Malaysia was nominated by the Palestinian Authority Government, which has little influence in both, Gaza and Hamas? It would probably make more sense to talk to the Iranians.

The usual mediators in such matters are either Egypt or Qatar.

Or expect the Thai news team to get a Thai flag in the shot.

Nothing to say about the Thai people that Hamas murdered? Nothing to say about the Hamas threats to murder hostages?

What did they go and capture Thai's for? That won't achieve much.

Since Hamas hate the Palestinian Authority almost as much as they hate Israel this will go nowhere.

They were on a murder and hostage taking spree - and let us be honest, Arabs are not particularly known for racial tolerance towards Asian people!

I'm in that region at present, they look down on Asian people a lot, most of all Indians.

Notice that all reporting at the moment distinguishes Palestinian's and Hamas as two separate people if this is the case give up Hamas the hostages and their locations they just launched 5,000 missiles and invaded a neighbor killing and hostage taking and peaceful Palestinians  knew nothing about it in a 25km patch of land with 2.5m people on it is ridiculous

 

.. My view is they are one and the same and shout Allah Akbar at will ????

[ignore it]

Just a palestinian making a wai after their massive "brake failure" by Hamas.

Ah, on further inspection, it will be the Palestinian flag. Ignore my earlier post. He is, primarily the ambassador to Malaysia, so they would be the correct flags if he was interviewed in his office there.

Probably to deter IDF retaliatory attacks. It would put Israel in a bad light if foreigners, Thai or otherwise, were killed or injured as a result of their actions. Useful propaganda tools.

They do and if you knew what they said about the Jews in the current war, its hardly surprising.
