Foreign Minister Eli Cohen visits the 11 Thai and Filipino hostages who were freed yesterday from Hamas captivity.

“The Israeli and foreign citizens had a common fate in the face of a cruel enemy on [October 7],” says Cohen in a statement.

The minister says Israel will continue working to free all hostages, including the over one dozen foreign workers who remain in captivity.

“I promised all of the foreign citizens released [yesterday] that they will receive the best medical and psychological care and we will see to it that they receive full rights from Bituach Leumi,” Cohen adds.
