Hamas Official: We Kidnapped Foreign Nationals for Their Safety
Hamas Official Claims Thai Nationals Were Kidnapped for Their Own Protection
In a shocking twist, Hamas official Hisham Qasem has come forward with a new propaganda talking point for the terrorist group. He boldly asserts that the Hamas terrorists who kidnapped Thai nationals during their attack on Israel were actually doing so ”for their own protection.”
This outrageous statement comes after the brutal murder of 39 Thai nationals by Hamas terrorists, who also took an unknown number of hostages. Qasem goes on to falsely claim that these innocent victims were merely “detainees” and that Israel was unjustly “shelling” houses in the kibbutzes.
Qasem’s audacious remarks continue, stating that “[Turkey and Hamas] discussed the release of some of the [Thai] detainees.” He further justifies the kidnappings by asserting that these Thai nationals were detained to shield them from the alleged Israeli aggression. According to him, the Zionist army was indiscriminately shelling houses with people inside, including members of the Al-Qassam Brigades, foreign laborers, and even the Zionist inhabitants of those settlements.
The Associated Press reported last week that Hamas released 10 Thai nationals as part of a temporary ceasefire agreement with Israel. Israel is tirelessly working to secure the release of as many innocent civilians as possible.
“Thais were the single biggest group of foreigners taken hostage when Hamas launched its surprise attack on southern Israel on October 7,” the AP stated. “Thais working in Israel are primarily employed as semi-skilled farm laborers, earning considerably higher wages than they would back home.”
Shockingly, it has been discovered that four of the released Thai nationals were not even known to have been taken hostage by Hamas. This revelation raises concerns that there may still be at least 20 more Thai nationals held captive.

What evidence supports the assertion that the Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, a faction of Hamas, kidnapped Thai nationals?
Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades.
It is important to debunk these false claims and expose the true intentions behind Hamas’ actions. The kidnapping of innocent Thai nationals has nothing to do with protecting them but is instead a calculated act of terror designed to provoke fear and advance Hamas’ extremist agenda.
Hamas, recognized internationally as a terrorist organization, has a long history of resorting to violence and undermining peace efforts in the region. Their indiscriminate rocket attacks on Israeli civilians, use of human shields, and involvement in suicide bombings are well-documented.
Qasem’s attempt to portray the kidnappings as a protective measure is not only false but also deeply disrespectful to the victims and their families. These innocent Thai nationals were in Israel for work, seeking better opportunities for themselves and their loved ones. Their lives were tragically cut short by the senseless acts of terrorists.
It is crucial to reject such propaganda and hold Hamas accountable for their actions. Instead of resorting to violence, Hamas should work towards peaceful negotiations and accept the legitimacy of Israel’s right to exist. The international community must condemn these acts of terrorism and support efforts to combat extremism in all its forms.
Furthermore, it is essential to recognize the efforts made by the Israeli government and security forces in attempting to rescue the hostages and bring those responsible to justice. The Israeli authorities have been working tirelessly, coordinating with international partners, to ensure the safe return of any remaining hostages and to provide support to the victims’ families during this challenging time.
The claims made by Hamas official Hisham Qasem are not only baseless but also serve to further erode any credibility the terrorist group may have had. It is clear that Hamas’ actions are driven by a radical and dangerous ideology that seeks to undermine peace and stability in the region.
In conclusion, the assertion that Hamas kidnapped Thai nationals for their own protection is an absurd and offensive propaganda tactic. These innocent individuals lost their lives at the hands of terrorists who are motivated by hatred and an extremist ideology. The international community must stand united against terrorism and support efforts to achieve a lasting peace in the Middle East.
