The delegation offered a silent prayer for the captives who have returned and for the swift release of all those still being held by Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
A delegation of senior Thai government officials, including Thailand’s Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa, visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Sunday, after five Thai hostages were freed a day earlier from captivity in the Gaza Strip.
The delegation also included Thailand’s military chief of staff, Gen. Songwit Nunphakdi, deputy foreign minister, Russ Jalichandra and ambassador to Israel, Pannabha Chandraramya.
Members of the delegation were moved to hear about the continuous prayers at the Western Wall for the return of the hostages and expressed their appreciation for the warm embrace that the people of Israel have extended to the Thai people, according to a statement from Jerusalem.
