Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara is enroute to Israel to bring home the 17 Thai hostages freed since the truce started.
Parnpree, who is also Thailand’s foreign minister, is expected to arrive in Israel in less than three hours.
While in Israel, he will visit three Thai nationals who were hospitalised for injuries they sustained during the October 7 attack by Hamas. The deputy PM will also meet with other Thai workers employed in Israel, Thailand’s foreign ministry said.
Parnpree and the 17 hostages are expected to be back in Bangkok slightly past noon local time on Thursday.
Fifteen Thai nationals are still being held by Hamas, according to tallies previously provided by Thai officials.
