Demands that no more Thai staff be stationed in high-risk places
Following a recent jet attack that left four Thai workers dead and one injured, the government has written to Israel in opposition.
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 rocket from Lebanon, which hit the city of Metula in Israel on Friday, according to Foreign Affairs Minister Maris Sangiampongsa, who announced on Saturday that the government had submitted the text after receiving information of the Thai staff ‘ deaths.
Thailand is urging all events to revert to a course of peace, he added as a member of the UN Human Rights Council. To reduce the number of Thai employees entering Israel for work, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Royal Thai Embassy in Tel Aviv collaborated.
The opposition email comes in response to reports that some Israeli companies are also assigning Thai workers to high-risk locations on short-term contracts, with some of the workers staying there for only two to three hours.
” Some of us have traveled abroad to work for a better life,” said Mr. Maris, “it’s entirely understandable.” However, the Middle East’s present situation is incredibly strange, with a substantial level of violence 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 father, Charnchai Tichantuek, is mourning his decline, while his family, Jarung Tichantuek, said Thana had planned to return to Thailand in a month. She had urged him never to work 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 partner, 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 neighborhood, 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.
