The individuals, Patthanayuth Tonsgokree and Owat Suriyasri, are the latest in a series of Thai citizens being released from captivity amid the Israel-Hamas conflict. Their arrival was a moment of national relief, celebrated by government officials and 17 other Thai nationals who had experienced a similar ordeal and were released earlier. Parnpree expressed profound relief over the safe return of the two Thai nationals, highlighting the government’s commitment to the safety and well-being of its citizens abroad. The sentiment was echoed among those present, reflecting a collective sense of national solidarity. Following their release, the individuals underwent comprehensive health evaluations, a standard protocol to ensure their well-being.

Bit pathetic, really. Yeah I get what you're saying. But on the other hand Thai workers have been a vital part of the Israeli economy for many years so in that sense Israel owes them something. If Southern Israel is ever secure again, they'll be looking elsewhere such as Sri Lanka. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their release is a separate issue that is being negotiated In Qatar with help from the Egyptians 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit pathetic, really. Not true. These Thai and other foreign hostages were returned without corresponding release of Palestinian prisoners. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
