On Wednesday, the home of a Thai contractor who was killed on Tuesday in an Israeli assault begged the authorities to assist in returning the victim’s body to his residence in Si Sa Ket, in the northern province.
Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin was contacted by Phraiwan Suchat, 53, and Warunee Daosai, 30, the distraught mother and wife of Phongphat SuchAT, 29, the Thai laborer killed in a concrete harm in southern Israel, to assist in returning his brain to Ban Krachaeng Muang in the Kanthalaralak area.
When a plaster large exploded nearby while they were working, Phongphat and another Thai worker were both killed, according to Surat Suchat, 34, the victim’s brother.
When the cement circular struck, he claimed, Phongphat and the other worker were about 20 meters away.
He added that Israeli soldiers removed the bodies after the mortar large detonated approximately five seconds after a alarm sounded.
Mr. Srettha has also been asked to assist in organizing the return of his friend’s system to Thailand.
In terms of his situation, Mr. Surat claimed that he and 59 different workers were now too scared to report for duty without their employer’s presence.
When plans are made for his friend’s system and it is brought back, he declared,” I’m determined to leave Israel, saying I’ll not work in Israel again.”
A person on X who went by the name of SuperBallAI started posting on Monday about his escape from a employee camp and subsequent overnight stay at the military shelter before being evacuated by six men in an automobile traveling north.
The Thai contractor asserted that he eventually learned that his will had been used against him to be sold to a new company. I had a second suitcase in my hands and fled for cover. The gentleman posted on X,” And I urgently want to go back, but I was sold to a new company instead.
Later, the employee claimed that a friend had agreed to assist and had paid for him to sit at his friend’s house while they looked for an airline ticket back to Thailand.
Following complaints from Siamese workers in Israel who claimed they were sold to a new firm against their will, Pairoj Chotikasathien, the permanent secretary for labor, said he had called the Thai labor attaché there to inquire about what had happened and was told that Israeli law permits such behavior.
According to Mr. Pairoj, he finally gave the labor attaché in Tel Aviv instructions to start visiting Thai staff in makeshift shelters all over Israel in order to provide them with moral support and assistance in registering for their returning to Thailand. At least 5,000 people have so far registered for a government-arranged free journey back to Thailand.
