In a statement, Thailand’s Foreign Ministry welcomes the hostage and ceasefire deal and calls for the release of all those held in Gaza, including Thai nationals.

“Thailand welcomes the announcement of a ceasefire and hostage deal in the Gaza Strip,” the ministry says.

“Thailand commends Qatar, Egypt and the United States of America, for their pivotal role and continued efforts in mediating the conflicting parties towards the successful conclusion of the deal,” the statement reads.

“Thailand calls on all sides to fully implement the deal, as well as the immediate release of all remaining hostages, including Thai nationals,” the ministry says.

Eight Thai nationals who were taken hostage from Israel on October 7, 2023, are still held in Gaza.
