Following a recent jet attack that left four Thai employees dead and one injured, the government has written a letter of protest to Israel.

Thai people are also being advised to delay non-essential go to Israel and another Middle Eastern countries at this time by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Hezbollah fired a jet from Lebanon, which hit the city of Metula in Israel on Friday, according to Foreign Affairs Minister Maris Sangiampongsa, who announced the text on Saturday.

Thailand is urging all factions to revert to a course of peace, he added as a member of the UN Human Rights Council. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Royal Thai Embassy in Tel Aviv have even worked together to reduce the number of Thai employees entering Israel for work.

The opposition letter comes in response to rumors that some Israeli employers are also employing Thai workers on short-term agreements at high-risk locations, with some workers only staying there for two to three hours.

” Some of us have gone abroad to work for a better life,” said Mr. Maris,” It’s completely understandable.” However, the current situation in some Middle Eastern regions is very strange, with a high level of crime in the ongoing conflict.

Akkapon Wannasai and Prayat Pilasram from Udon Thani, Kaweesak Papanang and Thana Tichantuek, all of whom were identified as the four employees killed in the jet strike, were all from Nakhon Ratchasima.

Thana, 31, from Sikhiu region in Nakhon Ratchasima, had been working as a berry sorter near the Israeli-Lebanese borders for 11 months before his death.

His parents, Charnchai Tichantuek, is mourning his decline, while his mother, Jarung Tichantuek, said Thana had planned to return to Thailand in a month. She had urged him not to function in Israel, but he was determined, saying,” We could kill somewhere”.

However, the family residence of Kaweesak, 37, in Lam Thamenchai neighborhood, has become a centre of pain after receiving verification of the boy’s dying from the Thai consulate in Israel. His family, Sumali Pimsri, 40, said his figure is expected to arrive in Thailand within a year.

In Buri Ram, Sulaporn Rungruang, Prayat’s girl, urged the government to quicken the relocation of his system and give compensation, as Prayat was the family’s main father. After two weeks in Thailand, Prayat, a local of the Krasang area, returned to Israel to fulfill his remaining employment contract.

Amnat Khemphet, a member of the Buri Ram Labour Office, said regulators, including authorities at Lamduan place, will coordinate with Israeli officials to practice payment requests and secure additional benefits for Prayat’s home.
