About 150 people are believed to still be held as hostages in Gaza, out of 240 who were kidnapped on October 7.
In exchange for the hostages, 30 Palestinian terrorists will be released by Israel later today.
A statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says the two non-Israelis being freed by Hamas in Gaza are Thai nationals.
The pair are not named. Thailand’s prime minister said earlier this week that he believed 15 Thai citizens remained hostage in Gaza.
