Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara, took center stage before the press today to deliver a crucial statement on Thailand’s position regarding the surveillance crisis in Israel. With unwavering determination, he underscored the relentless commitment of the Royal Thai Government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in addressing this pressing issue. He noted that the Prime Minister himself is closely monitoring the unfolding situation, leaving no stone unturned to ensure the safety of Thai nationals in Israel. The Thai Embassy in Tel Aviv has been directed to maintain constant communication with Israeli authorities, sharing real-time updates, and fostering collaboration.
Presently, the embassy is in active cooperation with Israeli authorities to ascertain the number of injuries, casualties, and the status of Thai citizens who may be at risk or held in distress. Deputy Prime Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara respectfully appealed to the media to exercise discretion by refraining from disclosing the identities of affected Thai citizens. Furthermore, in a proactive measure, the Prime Minister has issued orders for the Royal Thai Air Force to be on high alert, prepared to execute an evacuation of Thai nationals from Israel by air as circumstances dictate.
To fortify the response mechanism, the Department of Consular Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has promptly convened an emergency meeting of the Rapid Response Center (RRC), bringing together all relevant Thai agencies. This collaborative effort aims to bolster coordination and synergy among various stakeholders involved.
In conclusion, Deputy Prime Minister Parnpree reassured the public that the Thai government’s paramount concern is the safety and well-being of its citizens. He vehemently condemned all forms of violence and fervently called for an immediate cessation of hostilities, as well as the swift release of all innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.
