Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has said the country’s 23 hostages in Gaza are safe and will be freed soon, the country’s The Nation reports.

Thavisin says a ceasefire is necessary to arrange their release from the Strip.

Thai citizens working in southern farms were treated no differently from Israelis during Hamas’s raid on October 7, with 32 killed by the terrorists and 23 abducted.
