As battle between Israel and Hamas extremists from Gaza intensifies, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has instructed the air pressure to get ready to leave Thai citizens from Israel.

Mr. Srettha stated in a statement posted on his X ( Twitter ) account on Saturday night,” I want all Thai people to return home safely.”

According to reports, two Vietnamese workers were kidnapped by Hamas soldiers who entered Israel and were later returned to Gaza.

According to a blog on X from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Thai consulate in Tel Aviv and Vietnamese military attachés are attempting to confirm the information.

A photo that was posted online purports to show captured Thai and Filipino staff with a rifle pointed at them, with the Hamas flag flying in the top left.

According to government spokeswoman Kanchana Patarachoke, the consulate has checked the reports with Israeli authorities but has been unable to verify the information.

She claimed that one Thai subject was shot in the knee on Saturday during the Hamas invasion of Israel.

The injured person was only identified as an employee at a moshav & nbsp( agricultural community ) in Mivtahim, which is only 8 kilometers from the Gaza Strip’s border.

According to Ms. Kanchana, the ambassador spoke with the person, who was in excellent spirits, and made arrangements for an online medical consultation. The child’s name, age, or sex are no known in detail.

However, Mr. Srettha declared that he had given the Royal Thai Air Force the go-ahead to get Airbus A340 and C-130 plane ready to quickly remove Thai citizens from Israel.

The air pressure captain, ACM Phanpakdee Pattanakul, has acknowledged the demand and is prepared to act, according to the prime minister.

Mr. Srettha declared,” We strongly condemn this assault, which has cruelly resulted in the loss of innocent lives and injury to residents.” ” We are very worried about everyone’s safety, including Vietnamese immigrants.”

To ensure the safety and protection of our Thai people in Israel, which is of the greatest importance, we are in close contact with the appropriate authorities. Additionally, we anticipate that Israel’s challenging position will soon be resolved.

Out of the approximately 25, 000 Thais employed throughout Israel, around 5,000 are employed in areas near the Gaza Strip.

Israel appears to have been caught off guard by Hamas’ early-morning jet battery from the Gaza Strip and its fighter incursions, which have resulted in the deaths of at least 40 Zionist citizens. Benjamin Netanyahu, the country’s prime minister, declared it to be” at battle.”

Israel has declared incident areas, including Tel Aviv, to be 80 kilometers from the Gaza Strip. Numerous towns have opened pits, and more men have been stationed.

In a Arab rocket attack on an Israeli land just over the Gaza borders in April 2021, two Thai employees were killed and eight people were injured.

Thai officials reviewed the danger facing workers in border region communities close to the Gaza Strip as a result of that event.

Most of the same labor privileges are available to Vietnamese workers in Israel as they are to Jewish workers. Israeli government assume full responsibility and pay compensation if international workers are killed or injured as a result of war-risk risks.

According to a crusading past politician who claimed on Friday that the picture of Thaksin Shinawatra playing with his grandson in the pool was taken two years ago, no some time after the former prime minister’s return to Thailand.

Previous Democrat Party MP Watchara Phetthong used the image to support his request that the House section on law matters investigate allegations that Thaksin is receiving special care at Police General Hospital.

Thaksin, 74, was admitted to the hospital on the evening of August 22, 13 days after being released from prison, and he has been residing there ever since. The Department of Corrections and the Royal Thai Police have denied providing the prisoner with any preferential care.

After more than 15 decades of self-exile worldwide, Thaksin returned to the region on August 22. He was soon given an eight-year prison term, which was later reduced to one year, for abusing his position as top before 2006.

Mr. Watchara stated that he wanted the House section to find out what requirements Thaksin had to meet in order to receive treatment at Police General Hospital. Additionally, he requests that the committee call the police chief and ask him to inform them” on what ground of the doctor the swimming pool was located.”

Many online sleuths quickly deduced that the swimming in question is not in Thailand but rather anywhere else, perhaps in Dubai, where Thaksin spent the majority of his exile.

On July 21, 2021, his child Paetongtarn” Ung Ing” Shinawatra posted the image on her Instagram profile. In April 2022, she posted a picture on her profile that seems to be from the same place.

In the meantime, Thaksin is still recovering from unknown procedure at the hospital. A be of more than 30 days may get approved by the director general of the Department of Corrections based on a medical opinion in accordance with the rules governing criminal payments to outdoor facilities.

The Ministry of Justice’s permanent director must approve the treatment if it lasts longer than 60 days, or in this situation, after October 23. If a course of treatment lasts longer than 120 time, the justice minister must approve it.
