According to Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, the scenario in Israel is still important after another Thai worker was killed it and another was taken prisoner.
Prior to leaving for China to attend the 3rd Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation ( BRF ) in Beijing on October 16 – 20, Mr. Srettha gave a speech at Suvarnabhumi airport.
He claimed that another Thai employer had passed away and another had been taken as a hostage, bringing the total number of Thai deaths to 29 and those who had taken hostages to 18. He did not provide any further information.
Six Thai personnel who were supposed to board the most recent journey back to Thailand did not arrive, according to the prime minister, who added that he had also been informed of this. Thai officials made numerous attempts to get in touch with them. They were thought to be in fight regions and unable to leave.
The A340-500 plane of the Royal Thai Air Force, which returned 130 Thais on Monday night, was the most recent trip.
Mr. Srettha stated that on Monday at 4 p.m., the moment he was due to arrive in Beijing, a meeting on aircraft preparations had been scheduled at the Foreign Ministry. He had instructed them to look for additional planes and to remove every one of the roughly 7,000 Thais who wanted to leave Israel by the end of November.
When questioned about the Thai hostages, the prime minister acknowledged that despite reviews of progress in agreements, there had been no encouraging signs of their release.
The ongoing battle and the rising death toll among Thai staff, according to Mr. Srettha, were concerning. In order to free the captives and return them home as soon as possible, he had given representatives the go-ahead to do everything they had.
Mr. Srettha responded that he had already informed the Jewish ambassador that this was intolerable when asked about reports that some Thai workers were being coerced into continuing their employment despite the fact that the nation was currently at war. She had consented to investigate.
