An Israeli official confirmed that the Thai captives left Gaza and were en route to a hospital in Israel.
Thailand’s prime minister said 12 Thai hostages have been released from Gaza and are safely in Israel’s custody in what appears to be the first exchange of prisoners since a four-day truce began Friday.
Thailand Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said Friday morning in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that he confirmed with his Ministry of Foreign Affairs the release of the 12 hostages and that embassy officials were en route to pick them up.
Thailand’s Foreign Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara said there are still more Thai hostages being held by Hamas.
“I sincerely hope there will be more hostages released soon including the innocent Thais waiting to return home,” the foreign minister wrote on X.
