Workers can return to Israel after warThai workers return from Israel on a military aircraft at the military airport in Don Meang, Bangkok, on Friday. Israel is willing to welcome back Thai workers if and when the Israel-Hamas war de-escalates, according to the Labour Ministry's permanent secretary, Pairote Chotikasathien. This group also includes Thai workers in Israel who are due to complete their contracts soon, but no later than April next year. He said that Israel has attached importance to the return of foreign workers, particularly Thai workers who play an important role in the agricultural sector and driving the economy in Israel. "The Labour Ministry is working closely with Israeli authorities to ensure Thai workers can return to work in Israel when the situation there eases," he said.
