Thailand has said it is “disappointed” by the return to hostilities in Gaza and called for the release of hostages, including a Thai national, AFP reports.

“Thailand is profoundly concerned about and disappointed at the return to hostilities in the Gaza Strip,” said a Thai foreign ministry statement.

The Southeast Asian nation urged “all sides to exercise utmost restraint, cease the hostilities and resume negotiations to implement the ceasefire and hostage agreement”.

It called for the release of remaining hostages in Gaza — including one Thai — and the repatriation of the bodies of two Thai nationals.
