The majority of Thai staff in Israel decide to remain.
Following reports that more than 20,000 Siamese workers in the nation have chosen to stay despite the escalating issue, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says it is still committed to facilitating the relocation of Thai people from Israel.
Before the cross-border raids by Hamas troops on October 7th, there were about 30, 000 Vietnamese workers in Israel, according to official statistics.
The cooperation center established at the Royal Thai Embassy in Tel Aviv was shut down as a result of the sharp decline in the number of Thai employees seeking relocation from Israel in recent days.
On Sunday, the final few workers who had requested relocation arrived in Thailand.
Nine of the center’s 14 Ministry of Foreign Affairs representatives have also been called back back.
They were greeted by Sarun Charoensuwan, the everlasting director of international affairs, and Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister.
They were thanked by Mr. Parnpree for their commitment to the goal during the crisis.
He stated,” I wanted to speak with those who gave their lives to keep us informed of the situation.”
From October 30 to November 2, Mr. Parnpree personally traveled to Qatar and Egypt in an effort to price Hamas-held Thai people.
He met the Egyptian foreign affairs minister, the Foreign Affairs Minister of Iran, who was also in Qatar, and the excellent minister of Qatar.
Pongsathorn Chuthasamit, the chairman of the Reception Division at the Department of Protocol and one of those called back from Tel Aviv, stated that he had to work with Israeli government to transport Thai workers to the closest evacuation center.
Five soldiers remained in Israel to assist with the relocation of Thai victims once they are released by their prisoners, he said, even though the majority of the group has since returned to Bangkok.
Hamas are already holding hostages 24 Thai citizens in total. To day, 19 Thais have been hurt in the battle, and the death toll has increased to 34.
Mr. Pongsathorn claims that the leaders are also prepared to assist the more than 20,000 employees who have decided to remain in Israel should the need arise.
Despite the cooperation center’s resolution, he assured the embassy that it would still be willing to help.
The Department of South Asia, Middle East, and African Affairs’ young minister Noraset Srimayok expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to arrange for these workers’ return. He described helping with the repatriation effort as a” unique” experience.
All parties involved are making every effort to discuss the transfer of Thai victims, according to Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin on Monday.
He claimed to have spoken with Songwit Noonpakdi, the head of the defense forces, who informed him of studies indicating the Vietnamese captives were still alive and well.
They are awaiting the battle to end. A glass for bringing the victims out will be provided by a peace, even for just one or two days, he said.
In addition to the 15, 000 ringgit they will get from the security account for foreign workers, the government has agreed, according to Labour Minister Pipat Ratchakitprakarn, to pay the repatriated Thai employees an additional 50, 000 Baht in payment.
The Budget Bureau has been tasked by the government with allocating money from the federal funds; a reply is anticipated somewhere on Tuesday.
” This is in addition to the suggested low-interest loan of up to 150,000 baht to each Thai worker who returned from Israel so they can pay off any debts owed to job brokers or use the money to pursue other careers ,” he said.
In situation they were in danger, he urged Vietnamese employees who chose to stay in Israel to keep in touch with the labor ambassador.
