A delegation of Thai government officials met earlier today with hostage envoy Gal Hirsch as Israel anticipates that 10 foreign nationals taken hostage into Gaza during Hamas’s October 7, 2023, terror onslaught will be released in the coming days, Haaretz reports.
Eight of those 10 hostages are Thai nationals.
Israel believes the 10 hostages will be released separately, but in parallel to the four Israeli hostages who were released earlier today, Haaretz reports.
Hirsch’s meeting with the Thai delegation was held in the southern town of Re’im.
