"Israeli Mother and Thai Hostage Reunite: A Special Bond Forged in Captivity"

An Israeli mother and her young daughter, who were held captive by Hamas for almost two months, reunited with a Thai woman they formed a close bond with during their captivity. In an emotional video call, the Israeli mom expressed her love and gratitude to the Thai woman, who replied in Thai with the help of an Israeli psychologist. The Thai woman thanked the Israeli mom and complimented her and her daughter, while the young girl counted and sang in Thai. The Israeli mom expressed her desire to visit Thailand and the Thai woman blew kisses to the screen. Both the Israeli mom and the Thai woman were released as part of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.

Thai Hostage's Miraculous Release in Gaza: "I'm Not Dead"

Thai farm worker Vetoon Phoome, who was feared dead after being taken hostage by Hamas during the recent conflict in Gaza, has been miraculously freed along with nine other Thai hostages. The release was part of a deal negotiated between Israel and Hamas, which also included the exchange of Palestinian prisoners. Thailand's government is still working to secure the release of the remaining captives. Around 30,000 Thai nationals work in Israel, forming one of the largest groups of migrant workers in the country.
