AI Summary:
Five Thai nationals held hostage by Hamas since its Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel were released Thursday. They were among 31 Thais taken by the militant group, of whom 23 have already been released. According to Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 46 Thais have been killed during the conflict. Israel once relied heavily on Palestinian workers, but started bringing in large numbers of migrant workers. Thailand's Labor Ministry granted 3,966 Thai workers permission to work in Israel in 2024, keeping Israel in the top four destinations for Thais working abroad last year. Thai workers generally come from poorer regions of the country, especially the northeast.
